Just bought 4 ghost shrimp!

[pacersfan09]

lol i only wanted three but they gave me 4 by accident; i have one big one that is always trying to swim to the top and one that is cleaning away.

Yeah I like them, I think they are cool. Will they go with an angelfish?

 

[rich311k]

In my experience the angels will enjoy the shrimp. They don't even ask for cocktail sauce.

 

[computerman0219]

lol...does that mean they will eat the shrimp or they get along with the shrimp?..?.i know i guess you can call me a newbie.

 

[Viettxboii]

well theyll eat the shrimp live alrite, like rich said no need for cocktail sauce

 

[computerman0219]

thats what I thought, just wanted to make sure...btw what fish will live with them? If any?

 

[Caius]

Guppies, danios, rasboras, smaller tetras, cories...pretty much anything small. Although even small fish will eat the shrimp's young. The shrimp will also be vulnerable when they molt, so give them some hiding spots.

you mean people keep ghost shrimp as pets? that's news to me lol

I have 10-20 of them in my 10g planted tank. They keep things nice and clean.
