i have a question about CRS

[Fishy_Fun]

i don't have a tank for them by themselves and so i was wondering if i could put them in my 29G.heres the breakdown

I do weekly water changes will do more if needed.i have amano shrimp and they haven't died yet.The tank is heavily planted and has lots of hiding spots.heres the stock

3 swordtails
2 zebra danios
2 ADF
4 amano shrimp
1 angelfish that never comes out of hiding so no problem there
4 corys i don't remember which ones but they stay really small less than an inch and a half.
the only other reason i ask is 1 i have an hob covered with a sponge and a canister filter that is not would any babies get sucked up?like i said there is lots of hiding spots and lots and lots of plants for them to cling to and hide behind.please let me know i am getting them tomorrow

it could work but they are brigher and more easy to find by the fish.

they are more of a target to be sure, but it's worth a shot... and if you have some hiding places, the fish will soon learn to ignore them. they're also pretty quick.

thanks guys...i had a tank all set for them until the heater broke.i will just put them in the tank and see how they do.i was going to fish them out after i got a new heater but i might as well see how they do

good luck. Sounds like it should be ok.

They'll probably make it.
Some will get eaten, but the odds are very good that they will breed faster then they get munched.

i put them in after acclimating for 2 1/2 hours wanted to be sure they didn't keel over from being transferred.right now there all swimming around happily with my amano shrimp.To tell you the truth they are brave little buggers they will go right out into the opening where the fish are and let them swim around and right by them
