Aquarium Advice FINatic
I am thinking about my stocking list aswell as various other things for my 20gal long and i think i may get a shrimp.
So far i am interested in cory cats (a definate) keyhole cichlids and either the purple emporer tetra or rummy nose tetra, only the cories are a definate.
I have always seen shrimp as live food and a sitting duck that will just get gobbled up easily by any fish that fancies it. They have grown on me recently and i found myself looking for the shrimp in a large display tank at my LFS which had SAE's, a 8"+ Pleco, loaches and various other fish.
I do find them quite funny and i think i would like to get one.
I'd like to know of any definate no-no's for tank mates, what to feed them and general care issues if anyone will kindly speak up with experience.
At my LFS there is a red tinted shrimp which i think is an algae eater that looks nice also some filter feeder's which look funny as they seem to grab at the filtered water for food. I have also read some posts about them on here which made me laugh, i just think there really funny for some reason
Also... I feed my fish brine shrimp so feeding a tank full of fish brine shrimp when there's a shrimp already in there seem's a little strange.
What if they realise that the shrimp may taste better!
The tank & plans are:
20 gal long freshwater
96W Heavily planted
Eco Complete, DIY CO2, Fluval 205 Filter
TIA
