I have a 3 gallon tank that's in use as an RCS breeding tank. If I add a couple of male endlers, will they snack on the tiny juvie shrimp? I don't mind a few being picked off, but I'd like some to make it to adulthood. I know endlers have tiny mouths, but I don't know how tiny.
RCS juvies: Potential snack for Endlers?

Do you have any moss in the tank? Its likely they would snack on them, but if there is adequate cover, a good many should survive.
Depends :-(
I have RCS with my endler tank and I rarely see a cherry get berried. And when they do, my endlers end up harassing them (berried shrimp) to death.
I'm sure if you have like, just one or two endlers and a ton of cherries, it'd be okay. But if you have any more than that, it may be a problem for the cherries.

Thanks, everyone. I'm thinking through how I want to re-scape the tank, and am planning to cover the substrate with a blanket of anubias nana and dwarf sag. Will also have a lot of java moss in the tank, and some terracing.
I like a nice peaceful tank so I may have to reconsider the endlers and keep this inverts only. Maybe add a nice brigs snail...right now the snails are all hitchikers, mainly ramshorns I think. My water is painfully soft so the snails grow slowly.
