  • Some people like shrimp, some people like guppies, some people like both and aren't sure if can be kept together. From my personal experience they can and have a few reasons why and how to get the best success! Whether you are breeding them for profit or just adding them to your fish tank shrimp are great for cleaning and having something extra to look at! Thanks for watching!

    I've had neocaradina shrimp with guppies for a long time. It's not that the shrimp don't breed because of lack of cover, but it's the fact that the guppies pick off the babies.

  • @TheNewcastleluke

    Hi, awesome video. New to shrimp so am still finding information before I dive in. Something I was told by 2 separate people yesterday is to not have different colour shrimp in the same tank. Are there situations when having multiple colours works without the breeding being an issue? Many thanks.

    • @SirPrawnalot
      @SirPrawnalot  3 роки тому +1

      you can keep neo caridina shrimp (cherry shrimp) with caridina shrimp (Crystal/tiger shrimp) and they will not breed, the main issue with keeping 2 of the same species together is the colours will not mix like paint they will come out mostly undesirable, people do keep multiple colours of cherry shrimp together and call it a skittle tank, but the strong blues/yellows/reds etc will fade out with each generation due to cross breeding.

      If you want your shrimp to survive, you'll have to remove the goldfish eventually. It's gone eat them guaranteed. And the ghost shrimp will prevent the other shrimps from breeding in your tank.

    I'm setting up my guppy and shrimp tank in a 20 gallon. More for fun then profit. I got a question mate. My water is averaging out about 71 degrees. Do I need a heater. The area I am in does get cold in the winter but I doubt the water falls into the 60s.
