Does anyone count cherry shrimp into their bioload? Or stocking level? I completely disregard mine in both terms. Am I making a mistake?
Haha that's kinda what my mindset was, but I figured it was best to double check.
Do fish mind them? In my 29g planted I have 10 neon tetras, a swordtail, 5 albino cories, a black Molly and a male guppy. They all seem to act as if the shrimp aren't there. Occasionally one of them will try to grab a baby shrimp to no avail- at least that's what I've witnessed. If the shrimp population gets really thick will it stress my fish or anything?
Gotcha. Well I mean I'm sure my fish have gotten a few of the babies lol I've just never witnessed it. From what I've seen the babies jump out of the fish's mouth before he/she can clamp down. It's really funny actually. None of the fish go hunting for the shrimp and unless the shrimp are in their way of food they really don't seem to care.
