Bamboo Shrimp

Help/Advice

Hey all,

​

I was thinking about adding some bamboo shrimp to an established tank and I wanted to get some thoughts on if they would survive their tank mates and how many I should consider buying.

​

I currently have two ~3 year old pearl gouramis and 5 yo yo loaches. Are they going to feast on these shrimp? And if not, how many shrimp should I consider purchasing?

Bamboo shrimp are pretty big. I can’t see them being eaten. How many depends on how big your tank is. I have 1 in a 20 gallon and it seems just right.

I have a vampire shrimp with my pearls. As long as you have enough cover and establish tank so that can filter feed off the water column your good.
