Cherry shrimp and guppies

[daveedka]

I currently have a good colony of cherries growing and reproducing in one of my tanks, however I have moved all fish out of that tank except for an Sae which I have no other home for. I would like to spread the cherries out to my other tanks to increase production some, but am worried that my guppies will eat the baby shrimp. thus far I have a male shrimp in each tank and the fish seem to be leaving them alone, but still wonder if I will have issue when reproduction starts.
Has anyone kept cherry shrimp with guppies and have you had any success with reproduction. Any info or experiences will be appreciated.

My common guppies harassed and even killed some smallish ghost shrimp I was trying to grow out without dedicating a tank to them. I would be a afraid for the adults, much less the babies of shrimp as small as Cherry Reds.

I hope it's okay for me to ask here because it's along the same lines... with loaches eat shrimp? I have 3 botia striata (zebra loaches) and wanted to get some adult cherry shrimp but am afraid they'll be eaten.

Thanks for letting me share your thread
