RCS and Endlers?

[Fish_Fan]

Can Red Cherry Shrimp and Endler Livebearers go together? The tank would be a fluval edge 6 gallon, Would baby shrimp get eaten? Thank u

Or can any kind of guppies go with RCS in a 6 gallon?

I had rcs in a 40 breeder with pleco's, they thrived and multiplied. After I put endler's in the tank the rcs gradually disappeared. Any fish will eat baby shrimp, so as the adults died off no new ones grew out to take their places. Any livebearer will quickly overcrowd a 6 gallon tank.

If you get a good colony going, and have too many, you can always sell them, most Lfs will trade for I store credit

As long as you have places for the shrimplets to hide (Java moss is great for this), you can keep a colony going with most (very) small fish. I haven't had a problem with my shrimp and endlers.

Chilies though small, have a reputation of nipping shrimps till they die. Any experienced shrimp keeper would advice against it.
