well, i am plannin to get 3-4 ghost shrimp for my 10g. my 10g have 3platies, corys and dojo loach.
will my dojo loach eat the ghost shrimp?
and can the ghost shrimp live by themselves? i mean like living in a 5g all by themselves....

Thanks

My dojo ignores my amanos, and I never witnessed him him going after the ghosts. Not saying it won't happen, just that mine does not.

As long as the smaller tank is cycled, has cover and food, they'll be fine they have a pretty high tolerance for lower temps, so I don't think a heater would be needed.
