Opae's and guppies?!
is this something that can be done?! iv read that guppies can survive to 1.005 SG and supershrimp can survive there too!
Re: Opae's and guppies?!
Even if they could survive the salinity, the guppies need a lot more food than the supershrimp. It seems like a bad combination as you'd have to add the things the fish need but the shrimp don't, like a filter and heater. Not to mention the guppies would likely eat any baby shrimp.

DONT DO IT! The guppies will feast upon the shrimp. Remember in most habitats shrimp are the prey animals.
