is it ok to have Cherry shrimp and dwarf gouramis in the same tank?, the tank does have lots of hiding spots. thanks in advance.
I only have neons and i just added a neon red dwarf gourami that is about 1.5-2 inches and i did add the cherry shrimp like 1 month ago.. but since i added the dwarf gourami thats exactly what they do (hide). thanks for the info.Purrbox said:Keeping Cherry Shrimp with most fish will result in the baby shrimps getting eaten, and if the fish has a big enough mouth the adults shrimp with get eaten as well. If you want to give it a try, it's best to add the shrimp first so that they can get established and have a chance to find the hiding places before the fish are added. Don't expect to see the shrimp as much in this situation, as they will spend most of their time hiding, instead of out roaming the tank.
