Small infants with adult shrimps, problems?

Post by Adrianna »

I have (in my 127 liter tank) some "pregnant" shrimps: 1 tiger, 1 green and 8 red cherries :lol:

I was wondering if I should move the pregnant females to another tank? I don't have anything ready but it would take just few days to put up a 40l tank. It's just that I don't actucally live in the same house with my aquariums right now, so I don't really have time for anything special with the tanks.

I'd like to keep the females with other shrimps in the 127l tank, but... I don't know if the adults eat their juveniles?

Thank already for answers (and sorry for the bad english :wink: ),

If its a shrimp only tank I don't think you'll have a problem. If there are fish, I think they will potentially -- probably likely -- eat baby shrimp.

In the tank I have 4 different shrimps (tiger, red cherry, bumblebee & green) some yellow, purple and blue applesnails, a male bristlenose pleco and a Procambarus alleni. The pleco hasn't taken any intrest in shrimps (used to live in 317l tank with rainbowfishes...), neither hast the P. alleni.

ps. What is the P. alleni called in english? :oops:
