I have a killie which cleared my tank nicely of something like copepods, iwpressively quickly (1-2 days) but he would also eat shrimps. Mixing colours of cherry shrimp together will probably mean the offspring will revert to wild type quicker, though this happens even with single colour, just slower if you cull the poor quality offspring? I think you should expect to lose some shrimpets at this stage, whilst the fish are in occupation! You probably want something like a dwarf rasbora or neon/ember/neon green tetra, those are the only ones I have used safely with shrimp. Any fish that will eat the copepods will also eat shrimplets. I don't think copepods (I don't think shrimps eat copepods) will harm the shrimps or shrimplets. Here are the fish I have heard work great, but may eat *some* shrimplets: It's a mixed tank with cherries, yellows & blue rilli so I can get a lot of different offspring to separate out and form colonies from in bigger 30g tanks.
I should also note I am using a 2g nanotank at the moment. I do have an albino bristlenose pleco who is very tiny, but she is a lazy betch and hasn't impacted the copepod population. I just started with 15 shrimp, so I don't have a huge colony and can't afford for any babies to be eaten rn.
#EMBER TETRA WITH SHRIMP PATCH#
The recommendations are always with the caveat of "but I have total ground cover/top cover so most of my shrimplets survive." I have a ton of plants & hidey holes, but I also have some grazing areas where it's just a small patch of substrate since my shrimp love to be fed in those areas. I cannot for the life of me find any recommendations on freshwater fish who won't eat shrimplets. I also have 3 or so saddled females, soon to be berried females so I want to protect their future babies also. And with the amount I have in my tank rn, I foresee my first newborn babies hatching & being instantly swarmed. I've read that copepods are opportunists who will eat weaker shrimplets if given the chance. Hello all! I've only been keeping shrimp for a few weeks now, but I am already an overfeeding expert.Īpparently in my zeal to give my shrimp the best life, I have grown a giant colony of copepods which I am worried may harm my first ever newborn shrimplets (which could hatch at any time). Original Post: Accidentally posted this in the new members forum like a true n00b, so im re-posting here where it belongs. If you want a shrimp-safe fish that will eat your copepods or detritus worms, get some chili rasboras!! They came from a tank with lots of juvenile shrimp, and haven't bothered my shrimp at all even when shoaling. They started eating the copepods literally seconds after I put them in the tank, and they even slurp up the detritus worms like spaghetti. Notice: Please note that the appearance of fish will vary based on the size, age, and sex of the fish.Update: I went with 4 chili rasboras, and could not be happier.
