Not sure if this is the right section or not. Didn't see anything for inverts....
I have a 36 gallon freshwater tank currently. It has a Plec (about 10"), 3 Bronze Corys and 6 Zebra Danios. Last week I added 10 Ghost Shrimp to the tank to assist with cleanup duty. They slowly disappeared. Last I saw there were none.
My question is, what would eat those? Could my Plec have become a carnivore? I know some of them would hang out by it and it seemed to get real mad and thrashed its tail around. The Corys & Danios seem too small to eat these guys, but I suppose they could right?
I'm hesitant to buy more for this tank for obvious reasons. I really like the Ghost Shrimps and I'm reading up on the Amano shrimps now (for algae patrol). Should I waste my time with shrimps in this tank? I know Ghost shrimp are usually sold as food. I didn't think I had anything that would eat them. Are Amano shrimp OK for freshwater? Some sites say slightly brackish and some say freshwater is ok.
Thanks.... Sorry for the long winded post...
