Im looking at maybe adding shrimp but need advise. I have a clown plec, stripped cory, and a catfish which im unsure of type (see pic) 2 x angels, 3 dwarf gounomis, 6 mollies, 4 red eye tetras. Would it be ok also whats the best kind.
 
I think small shrimp would be demolished in that tank. What size is the tank? Is it heavily planted? If it is the one shown in your avatar?
 
Its 3 foot long. All fish are still smallish. It has alot of bogwood init now and more plants are going in soon. It was just a thought but would have liked to introduce them
 
They would eventually be a food source. But you could put them in now while all the fish are small. When they get eaten, then so be it, a good snack for the fish. Just enjoy them while they last :)
 
Try Amano shrimp, they are pretty big and most fish wont mess with them, although you're Angelfish might be a concern depending how big they get.
