Of course, feeding is one issue too. As long as they don't harm your shrimps, it's ok to leave it, but it's only not pleasing to the eye if there's too many. |

hi
beside removing the food after 3 hours, wad else should i do ?
i am trying to reduce the amt of pests growing inside my tank. i was thinking of adding 1 tetra fish but afraid it might actually go after my shrimps. The reason behind the pests growth is the excessive amt of nutrients inside. I heard that the is a bottle of mosura items which is to break down the nutrients plus if i change water weekly, will it help? |

i read that tetra are fine with fishes, but then i tried.
10 tetra with my shrimps, the tetras attacked the molted one as when i remove them can feel that is super soft. Then i remove my tetras, now no more problem liao. I read that mosquito rasbora are fine. But then again best is no fishes with shrimps. Maybe adding 1 tetra or rasbora will be fine as it will not be so aggressive than a group. After clearing the pests liao then faster remove it from the tank. |

Another option is moving yr shrimps away to another tank first, then let the fishes clear then put back yr shrimps and remove fishes. Or overhaul the tank, tats big project le.

So far, I think most fishes cannot mix well with shrimps unless there are lots of hiding places in your tank. Even small guppies or tetra will eat shrimplets if they can catch them. The only one that I tried and seem to be safe is otto.
