Hi all-
I have a 20 gallon tank with 2 mollies, 3 neon tetra, and 6-8 guppies. I am thinking of adding shrimp and/or snails. My question is would they be compatible with the fish I have? I think the guppies/tetras are fine, but not sure about the mollies. I see them nipping every nook and cranny, even after fed.
If it is ok, the second question is what type to get. My LFS which had amano shrimp went out of business, and the only things I see at pet stores are ghost shrimp. I'd like amano, or maybe cherry shrimp that can breed in a freshwater tank if possible, but not sure if online orders are ok? Also, what type of snails would be good, that wouldn't breed like crazy and overrun the tank? I don't have real plants, just fake types.
