Amano vs Red Cherry Shrimp

[kc2ped]

My Red Cherry Shrimp finally hatched their eggs
They don't seem to be bothering the young
I want to put a few Amano Shrimp in there as well but they are huge compared to the babies
Will the Amano Shrimp eat the baby Red Cherry Shrimp

I wouldn't think so. I can't speak for certain on that, but I can say from my experience that RCS, once they get established, can out breed anything else in the tank. I successfully kept both in a tank together for a number of years and never had any issues there.

You can keep them together but they might steal the rcs food.They also might eat the sick and dead shrimp. pic of a amano eating a dead rcs.

I don't mind them eating the Red Cherry Shrimp if they are dead
Will keep the tank cleaner
