RCS and bn

[blondeyny]

I have 4 red cherry shrimp in another tank that I would like to add to my 25 gal with 8 dwarf platies and my albino bn. Is that going to work or are they not compatible? I think I am more worried about my platies messing with the shrimp than the bn.

They should be fine, shrimp are pretty nifty little things.

Agreed they are darn quck. I have loads of tiny babies in my shrimp tank and when vacuuming I have never yet vacuumed one up, they jump out of the way pretty sharpish. And good luck in catching your 4, it wont be easy!

Yeah I have a feeling I will be knee deep in the 5 gal they are in before I catch them all. LOL I have seen a couple things online for DIY shrimp traps. Might have to look into that. Right now they are in with a betta and he keeps having issues with his fins. So I think he'll be better off by himself.
