Harpsandfish Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Is it likely that honey Gouramis would eat Amano shrimp? Are Amano shrimp nocturnal or very shy? I added a pair of honey Gouramis and four Amano shrimp to my planted community tank two days ago; the shrimp went right to work on some algae and all seemed well. Yesterday I was able to spot just one, today none so far. I have been accused of having an obsession, as I have spent so much time trying to spot them. 😉There are places for them to hide, and they are quite small, so...

Roko Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 No honey gouramis won't eat amano shrimps. Sometimes you will see them sometimes you won't but if your water is fine there's nothing to be stressed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Check the floor and stand around the outside of your tank. Amanos are pretty decent escape artists especially when they are exploring a new environment. I'm not saying they will escape, but they certainly can. They climb very well and their legs can support them out of water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpsandfish Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Yikes! Well, if that happened then it’s likely that Kitty had a nice snack, but the way the lid fits I can’t see that happening. Tonight before I turn in I’ll try the flashlight trick. I had forgotten that our kids used to go shrimping in Friday Harbor at night with flashlights.😉 Thanks for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
