I was thinking about a 20 or 29 gal planted tank and wanted to know if the Kuhli's or Betta will bother the shrimp. I know Kuhlis and Bettas like warm water (80+F) but can the Amanos withstand that temp.

Also, I put this here since I figured the plant people are well aquainted with amano shrimp.

90 gal...but if you have it planted and everyone has good cover, there will be no problems...
also my temp is 78 degrees....everyone is happy

If you are planning on breeding those shrimp...those fish will snack on the babies. Definitely the bettas will, and maybe the kuhlis.

bettas are safe with shrimp too big to register as food, make sure the shrimp are at least 1 1/2 inches long.

I wasn't aware amano shrimp would breen in captivity, if I can get them to do that I have a 10g to grow them in.
