can bamboo shrimp and rcs live well together?

The title says it all.
I'm just curious if they do and I wanted to make sure before buying one.

In my opinion they do, I have quite a lot RCS, 2Bamboo Shrimp and 5 Amano Shrimp and all get along great. Bamboo shrimp are very mellow pets, have them in my community tank and they live in true harmony lol

What is the tank size and filtration/current? Bamboo Shrimp are filter feeders. This means they gather small food particles out of the moving water using their fan-like appendages. Other than meeting that requirement you will be fine!

I have a 20g tank and I've given my tank time to mature so in about two weeks or so. My filter is HOB aquaclear and the current seems to be good cause when I drop an algae wafer its moving it all over the place haha

Then you will be a-ok! Although it may not feed on the actual wafer.

Oh yah I didn't expect it to. I may work on putting more plants in before getting one. Thanks for the advice!

Or some driftwood pieces (haven't seen your tank). The Bamboo Shrimp will enjoy being a little higher up to fine the current. Good luck!
