what kind of freshwater shrimp?

[anubisrising]

I was interested in getting some Cherry Red Shrimp but was told that since they are small they will be eaten by my fish. I am really interested in getting some shrimp, but don't want them to end up being fish food. So the RCS are out. Are there any other shrimp that are big enough that they wouldn't get eaten by tankmates? I have a 130 gallon tank with 10 pleco's, 4 loaches, 7 angel's, 2 chinese algae eaters, 1 eel, 1 raphael catfish, 1 black ghost knife and 1 iridecent shark with live plants. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is no shrimp that will survive that tank. Sorry. You also may want to google Iridescent Sharks to see what you have on your hands. Your big tank is tiny for them longterm.
