Thought i would put this on here as people always ask what good tank mates are for shrimps(me included) my main tank had a colony of around 50 cherry shrimps, tank mates where neons, ember tetras, bn plecos, corys and gb rams. They have been together for around 4 months and the shrimps where doing great, shedding there skins and breeding well(i only started with 15 lol) so my point is i was at the local fish shop last week and my mrs spotted a absolutly lovely pair of golden rams(marked at £9 a pair) which is abnormally cheap around my area. Any i gave in and let my mrs buy them lol( BIIIIG MISTAKE) they were in the tank for 36 hours and my cherry shrimps had suddenly dwindled down to 10. So even though i had a pair of rams which happerly lived with my cherrys for months the new rams thought there were tasty (expensive) snacks. So basically you can never tell with some fish.
So my £9 pair of rams turned out to be £99 as i had to make the decsion to buy a fluval ebi(shrimp) tank to rehome the remaing 8 cherrys
