Regular Member Anic Posted December 20, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yea, the shrimp probably won't last very long. I think I saw a thread once upon a time about setting up a shrimp only tank. Somewhere... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Bubbleboy Posted December 20, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 20, 2008 Shrimp are tasty for goldfish but I heard in large numbers, ghost shrimp can attack fish. No joke! It creeped me out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nick11380 Posted December 23, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2008 You could put Macrobrachium shrimp with your goldfish. But some Macrobrachium shrimp will eat your goldfish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member toadie Posted December 23, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2008 lol support for the crazy ghost shrimp mob mentality here. Was at a store in town first time I'm there (its a long drive and they never have anything worth their prices) anyways I see this tank of ghost shrimp. I always thought they pretty cool so I'm watching at the tank has a couple other little fish in there as well. Upon closer look I realize that there is one fish being molested by the ghost shrimp about 8 shrimp playing soccer with this one fish then they'd take him up drop him onto the filter he'd go flying in a bubble drop to the bottom (he was dead when I got there or playing dead who knows) and then they'd do it again pretty cool to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nick11380 Posted December 25, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 25, 2008 Most Ghost shrimp are "Palaemonetes paludosus" which are a very peaceful shrimp. But sometimes Macrobrachium shrimp are sold as Ghost shrimp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member nick11380 Posted December 27, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2008 Brine shrimp are not good for keeping. They are very small, not easy to raise, nothing to look at and need salt water. Pet stores sell brine shrimp eggs because newly hatched brine shrimp is the very best fish food for baby fish that have just became free swimming. Brine shrimp will only live for a few hours in fresh water. If you want to keep shrimp it is best to have a shrimp only tank. Even with some place for the shrimp to hide the fish will still hunt them down and eat them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jinyu_fan Posted January 10, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2009 My brother kept a couple of Bamboo shrimp (also known as Singapore Wood Shrimp) in his gf tank and they were fine. There shrimp are larger (~3") and are filter eaters. I have shrimp (red cherry shrimp) in a planted tank with one oto, and also in a planted tank with WCMMs, corys and a couple of Amano shrimp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
