Is there any information on the amount of microorganisms present in different media?Oh, I see what you mean. I was saying that I originally wanted to keep brevis in the tank, but after looking at the shrimp, I've decided to keep these instead. Besides, I don't think brevis LIKE a 6 gallon tank, so I'm gonna get them a 10.Neonshrimp wrote:First of all, it is not advised to keep fish with the shrimp. Fish will often harrass and kill the shrimp by physically attacking them or by stressing them. Also, if you ever have baby shrimp they will most likely be eaten by the fish. It really does not make a difference what size the fish is since most fish can bite
The wood with java fern will be okay. Cherry shrimp, being a dwarf shrimp, will not eat their young. You don't have to add leaves, it just provides more microorganisms for the young and even adults to eat. I also use java moss for the purpose of microorganisms as well as a secure place for them to hide. Best wishes and please keep us updated.
Cherry shrimp and other algae eating shrimp do not like high flow, but you can provide an area of high flow as long as there are low flow areas where the shrimp can find refuge.Can I keep them in a tank with a high water flow?
Yes you can, as bamboo shrimp are harmless to other animals in the tank. Also, bamboo shrimp use high water flow to filter food particles in the watercan I keep them with bamboo shrimp?
Thats good to hear. I'll just add a stable piece of driftwood so they can hide under. After setting up the tank(its cycled) I'll add some cherrys and Java fern, then the bamboo shrimp and let the fun begin!Neonshrimp wrote:Cherry shrimp and other algae eating shrimp do not like high flow, but you can provide an area of high flow as long as there are low flow areas where the shrimp can find refuge.Can I keep them in a tank with a high water flow?

Yes you may, as they are as harmless to tank mates as the asian filter feeders. But since they grow to be 6 inches or more you should plan for such growthBy the way, if I had a bigger tank, could I keep vampires with the cherries?
I have one made of clear plastic that works with such ease, even with my quick amano shrimpOh yeah, has anyone heard about or used glass dip tubes?
I will pm you where I got it from.Excellent and TRUE analogy, hahaha(in my tanks: shrimp is to moss like human teenager is to the mall),
!
And maybe if I had a 30 gallon tank, I could keep all three species together. Maybe like this;
