Rummy nose tetras and cherry shrimp

[daza.141]

i have some cherry shrimp and i thought id put one on my tank to see how the fish reacted to it and one of my silver tip tetras ate it :/ and i was planning on getting a load of rummy nose tetras will they eat my shrimp if i was to put the shrimp in with them ?

I once kept cherries with rummynose as well as embers and they did fine.
Give me a PM if you're looking to buy some
Cheers

I've kept the together too. The adult shrimp were fine, but the babies got mauled.

The rummy's do eat the shrimp..........smaller ones particularly.
After a molt etc.

I still have plenty in my 120 Gallon, but the production of shrimp dropped down to near zero.
Before I had an extra 30-50 a week.

So they will eat every last one.......but they do eat them.

There was a picture posted just recently of a rummy nose with a big shrimp in its mouth!
