i do have some small red nose shrimp and my ram is fine with them (the pet shop i got them from said they would be fine in my tank even tho they are supposed to be in "medium hard, very alkaline water " if i knew about this website before i got them then i wouldnt of got them but they seem fine.) mine seem to be fine, verry clear bodys and nice red noses and tails and verry active and my ram is really shy towards its tank mates (it swam away from my smallest red nose as if it was scared of it the other day when it wa swimming off the plant to the rockery. i do spend alot of time watching them and never seen anything have a go at another fish/shrimp apart from my african fan shrimp tell my bamboo shrimp where to go when it was in his log. the smallest shtimp i have atm is about 1 cm. thanks for the reply.
