Chiclid addict Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I was wondering if there are any shrimp that can live with discus preferably bigger since there is also rope fish that might eat smaller shrimp
Socqua Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 The three big ones that are probably most common in freshwater aquariums are bamboo shrimp, vampire shrimp, and amano shrimp. I think all three would be fine with discus, but I've never kept discus so I have no personal experience. From what I've read they should be fine. Add them at night to let them get established. You could also try some neocaridina "cherry" shrimp as they're fairly cheap. Buy 5+ and add them at night, and hope that they reproduce faster than they're eaten, though it may slowly decline because rope fish and discus WILL eat them. Keeping the predators well fed will help abate that.
