Re: [APD] red cherry tankmates

Bruce,

All fish enjoy "soft-shell crab" and that's what they seem to think 
molting shrimp are. Provide lots of rocky structure with hidey holes or 
other good cover, or they will probably be eaten they first time they 
shed their shell.

The Cherries will stay small. Nevertheless, I try to never mix shrimp 
species, because you can end up with some strange hybrids and lose the 
best qualities of the original species. [To be fair, I mostly just have 
the tiny dwarf species, like cherry, crystal, etc.]
