Hey guys,
Yesterday I picked up 1 amano shrimp in the hope that it would keep on top of the algae in my tank which is mainly just brown Algae.
I did lots of research on them before I actually got them to make sure that it wasn't going to effect my fish in anyway.
I have since come across a couple of articles that say that attack and eat healthy or living fish.
As you can imagine I'm quite concerned with this as I have had 2 of my platies for around 2 years now and they sleep at the bottom of the tank at night.
Stocking levels are 5 danios, 5 white cloud minnows, 2 platies and the shrimp In a 23 gal tank which is currently low tech planted dosing easycarbo.
Anyone had any experience of the shrimp attacking fish?? Any help would be appreciated.
