Hey everyone! I have a 120 w/ lots of plants, some dwarf praecox, threadfin, & blue-eyed rainbows, otos, cories, a farlowella,and red cherry shrimp & long nose shrimp. I'd like to add some cherry barbs. The shrimp are small, they don't get as big as the Amano shrimp. I think the cherry barbs will leave the shrimp alone but what do you think? Thanks!

Thought I would let you know that my rosy barbs are pigs. They are big eaters and have gotten very thick. When I put a bunch of ghost shrimp in the tank the barbs were the first to go after them. It may be different if your barbs are small, I can't say for sure.
Cherry barbs are fine with Amanos and with southern marsh shrimp, but I have not tried them with Cherry Reds or with Bumblebee shrimp.
