Will angels eat amano shrimp. I would like to add some to my 29 planted tank along with a few cories. Currently it has 2 angels and an albino bn pleco
I have never experienced my Angels eating my Amanos when I kept them way back when. The only way I could think it would happen is if you had a case of large Angels and small Amanos
Yeah, they'll be fine
Thanks guys
How many should I get. I have 2 angels, an albino bn pleco and will most likely get 10 cories. It's a planted 29 gallon.
I think 2 should suffice to be honest.
What if I get 8 cories instead of 10 then could I get 8+.
It really depends on if you can sustain. They have very low bioloads, but the problem with them is making sure you have enough food to keep them around.
I've had angels for 30+ years and right now I have 12 adults in a 220g and they can and will eat even large shrimp as adults. Alot will depend on the individual angels so my best advice is get a few ghost shrimp and see if the angels leave them alone of if they slowly disappear. I've seen my adult angels kill and eat shrimp 2" in size, it takes them a minute to actually get them killed but they eventually get the job done and I have a super heavily planted tank. Try the cheap ghost shrimp first, then if all's good buy the more expensive amano shrimp.
