Garavar Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 90 Gallon tank light to moderately planted (working on increasing). Tank has rainbows, cardinal tetras, apisto and 8 Panda Corydoras. I am looking to add some cherry shrimp. Would they go together well with the 8 Corydoras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoiAngels Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 the apistogramma will devour all the shrimp within days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lefty o Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 the cory's wont be a big issue. they might get a few newborns, but the other fish are likely to be kinda hard on a shrimp population. id increase the amount of plants/hiding spots, and then if you really want to try them, buy a small number as a trial run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If you don’t have rhads or pseudo’s then your rainbows will snipe those shrimp before they hit the substrate. The apisto won’t have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for warning gang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The pandas will be great. But eggs are among their favorite foods. Including their own. So wouldn’t worry about adult shrimp. It’s the Apisto going to get the adults, as has been mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Panda is fine, but Apisto is the trouble maker here, everyone has already stole my words 😄.
