killifish lover said:like what exactly?
Personally, I have guppies with ghost shrimp and never had an issue. Some dg do fine with shrimp, other kill them. However, this can be lessened if the shrimp have a place to hide. Some bettas also get along with shrimp, but some anhilate the shrimp. It does depend on the fish. But, none of my guppies have ever bothered my ghosties.i need something common i can find at an LFS. would dwarf gouramis, honey gouramis, guppies, green neon tetras, neon tetras, or something else COMMON work?

IME all these fish do fine with shrimp. Almost anything will eat the baby shrimp though, of course, they are soo tiny when they hatch. The gourami's would be the biggest risk, but I have never seen any of the few dwarf gourami's I have owned bothering a shrimp.i need something common i can find at an LFS. would dwarf gouramis, honey gouramis, guppies, green neon tetras, neon tetras, or something else COMMON work?
Those are all amazing looking fish. I have never kept any sort of gourami, but I really would love to have some honeys.i might do sparkling gouramis or honeys though if the guy doesnt have licorice.
