This is my tank that I will be starting a colony of cherry shrimp. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks! I will probably stay with what I have for now, my local fish store gave me credit on the rainbow I had. So the rest of the fish should be ok. I want to get a lot more shrimp in my tank and get them well established before I add anymore fish. I think..

What kinds of fish can be kept safely with shrimp. I was gifted 6 small tiny red shrimp, and I love them! I currently have 6 neon tetras 3 honey gouramies one bn pleco and one turquoise rainbow( I figure he needs to go ). Oh I have a 75 gal planted tank and I want lots of shrimp.

I picked up 2 angel fish today along with 2 bn plecos,. I am waiting on my fish store to get some apistogramas for me he said he should have some in a few days. Will the Angel fish get along with the apistos?

you should be ok if you kept the filter media, just watch your water parameters.

With this tank being New and sounds not to be quite cycled yet, I would see if you can get your hands on some filter media from an established tank ASAP to put in your filter to help get some benificial bacteria going. You will probably have to do water changes daily for a bit. I would suggest...

wow nice fish! I will have to keep that in mind, if I do all males will there be lots of aggression and are there any other kinds of fish I can keep with them. my selection of fish are limited here. I have been researching on U tube and really like the look of the apistogrammas. I wonder if I...

thanks Tpalmer. I am trying to do as much research as I can first. I am not apposed to having Angels but that is not all I want. I really like the bright blues and yellows of the cichlids and I love the red jewels, but I was told they are very aggressive. I have only ever kept small tropical...

how did your plants do Viccy ?

What would be the best for my tank. I currently only have a BN pleco one rainbow and one small flying fox. I am wanting to change to chili’s but not Necessarily wanting to get rid of all my plants . I did just recently thin down my plants drastically, and I have let my stock get low on purpose...

Thank y’all I will start researching some of those and see what I can find here in Lubbock Texas

thank Toad Coralbandit, I have not been able to get any rams that are raised around here, I do get them from our local fish shop not a big box store. I was just at a new fish shop here and they had a really pretty mated pair of red jewel chilids. What group would they fit in.

so I currently have a 75 gallon planted tank, that I have had setup for 5 years but my driftwood and eco complete I had in a 100 gal tank previously that I got rid of due to space. I use RO water and lots of driftwood my question is what kind of chilids would work with my water? Will they all...

thanks Skrape for the info i will keep it in mind.

thanks for the info, i guess i need to find a place to order some shrimp from, then get rid of the two rainbows i have in there. i can keep the guppies and the neons, thanks again
