They're perfectly fine together. While the Bamboo Shrimp are much larger, since they're filter feeders (have the feathery fans instead of claws) they pose absolutely no threat to even the smallest of fry.

Time for some new pictures. The Spiky Moss is well overdue for a trim.

That is a lot of growth! Looks good, I can't get that kind of growth except for my dang hygro.

As of tonight this aquarium will finally have fish in it again. I lost the Pygmy Cories in back in December when an ice storm knocked out our power for about 36 hours. My fish club's meeting was tonight. I took in several plants for HAP (Horticultural Award Program) as well as some other trimmings. As a result the Spiky Moss finally got it's much needed trim. There were several fish that had been brought in for BAP (Breeder Award Program) and among them were four Apyosemion Australe Chocolate (a killifish). There is one female and three males, which are all about an 1" long. From what I understand killifish should do quite well in my small but heavily planted aquariums. The person that had brought them in had recommended picking the best male to place in with the female for breeding to keep the males from directing too much attention towards the female but another brought up that keeping several males with the female can help avoid aggression towards the female since they will direct their aggression towards eachother. We'll see how it goes.

I'll try to get pictures soon!
