I went to Walmart today and saw some ghost shrimp for 26 cents a piece. I know it's probably not smart to buy fish at walmart but oh well. I also got a mickey mouse platy that is yellow. When the guy put them both in the same bag the ghost shrimp attacked the platy and bit part of it's tail off!!!!!!! I got four shrimp. I was wondering if they could go in a tank with gouramis, mollies, and platys? right now I have them in a 6 gallon tank with a male guppy. Oh and what do they eat?!?! I know nothing about shrimp. Thanks for the info!

as far as i know ghost shrimp will eat any food laying around the tank because theyre really good at cleaning that tank.

In all of my experiences with ghost shrimp, theyve gotten along fine with any fish, my main concern, was always, that all the other fish would EAT the shrimp. Eventually they did, as the shrimp always disappeared before too long.
