Re: Pleco algae eaters & red cherry shrimp
Depends on the algae eater, bristlenose don't bother them, but an sae or cae will eat smaller shrimp. Some of the other plecos will to as they require meat in their diet.

Re: Pleco algae eaters & red cherry shrimp
Hi,
I want go over the pleco problem, but if you have them in with Guppies, the guppies will prey on the baby shrimp and slowly your shrimp will die off because there will not be young adults growing up to replace their parents. My experiance at least with larger livebearers. I have mine in with small livebearers and nano types. |
