I have briggs & cherry shrimp - is there a fish I can put in (besides a pleco) that will leave the shrimp alone?

thanks ; )
 
I think a better question might be "what fish NOT with cherry shrimp"

Do you have an idea as to what you want to put in there?
 
We tried out Betta & he went for them.

I just wanted to add a fish or two. I'm thinking about a bristlenose albino pleco.
 
I have those and there great^! with cherries

or otos or a fish thats mouth isnt bigger than the shrimps.
 
Tank size and Stock?

Assuming the worse (no cover) and playing it safe - I would also like to assume the tank is in the 10G range nearly any fish that, how was that put?
or otos or a fish thats mouth isnt bigger than the shrimps
...would work. ;)

Examples are: neons, cardinals, endlers, guppies, any Cory spp., most of the smaller Pleco species, hmmm....maybe the dward-platies?, the list goes on.
 
I keep cherries with Endlers, Dario Darios and Pygmy Cories. Cherries mix with many small fish with a few exceptions. Most small community fish are often good choices if you want to look for a list of possibilities.
 
i keep mine with zebra danios, harlequin rasboras, glorlight tetras and a few others. the shrimp hide in the moss and still reproduce. a fish im looking into right now is the gertrude rainbowfish... look it up. it is shrimp safe and beautiful.
 
I keep mine w/ dwarf gouramis and swordtails...they dont mind my cherries grazing at my christmas moss...
