View Full Version : RCS in a Angel discus tank
Is it safe to add Red Cherry Shrimp to a community tank with angels, discus, guppies and endlers?
Not sure if they will get eaten or not.
Trying to use the RCS tank for a different planted system and maximize space in the apartment.

Is the tank very densely planted? Angels will likely hunt out the shrimp quite effectively. Some people have limited success with shrimp and discus or community fish. If it is a big enough tank and densely planted its likely you will have some survivors. Amano shrimp are a better size for that sort of population.
Tank is small 20g and Angels have been breeding while discus is chilling.
Not planted well. I guess i'll just keep the RCS in the 10G and plant that one out really well.
Trying to get a small planted tank since I have time on my hands now.
thanks.

Our angels are very adept at hunting cherry shrimp, even though our tank is 120 gallons. I don't think they would last long, LOL.
What size are these fish? 20 gallons is much too small for discus, especially since discus need to be kept in groups in order to thrive. It's arguably too small for angels as well. JMO.
