I have a 75 community that's about 7 months old and am wanting to add shrimp. My stock is the following:
6 x Botia Kubotai (polka dot) loach
5 x Kuhli loach
3 x Murray River Rainbowfish
2 x Madagascar Rainbowfish
18 x Neon Tetra
4 x Peppered Cory
6 x Red Wag Platy
1 x Angelfish
2 x Nerite Snail
I realize the polka dots are the biggest threat to shrimp, however mine are only 3-4" long and seem to be fairly passive - probably due to me keeping them well fed. I've dumped plenty of "pest snails" into the tank for them to snack on and they only seem to mess with the really small ones. They also leave my 1/2 inch Nerites alone. So with all of that being said, do any of you have any recommendations for larger freshwater shrimp that would survive in my tank? Thanks in advance.
