Hi Everyone

Does anyone know if these two will fight or kill one another. I have a strict RCS tank only but I was passing at Petsmart yesterday and saw a really good price for some amanos. Anyone have any experience with these two? Do they get along?
 
They'll do perfectly fine together.
 
Ya Sprials, They were around 3.50. That is a good deal from around here. This guy a few months ago was trying to sell one amano for twice that. I put this question out just because I am curious whether the bigger amanos may bully the juvie rcs (only about a 1/4" long). Anyone think they will pose any real danger?
 
No they will get along fine. Amano shrimp are foragers, not hunters. If they find a sick or injured shrimp they will likely take advantage of the 'free meal', but they do not actively fight. There are shrimp species that are aggressive, but they tend to be the larger Macrobrachium shrimp.
