Re: [Killietalk] Anyone with experience with Ghost Shrimp & Killies????

If you are going to try and spawn any fish I would not put the ghost shrimp with them as the will eat the eggs of fish. As far as adult fish like white clouds they would be alright with the shrimp.

Anyone out there ever dealt with the ghost shrimp? Are they at all compatible with killies???

Obviously, I wouldn't want to put them in my SJO or other larger Fundulopanchax (puerzli, gardneri, etc) as they'd pretty quickly become lunch I would think, but I was thinking they might be ok with my aphy striatum and white cloud mountain fish?

Will the shrimp eat any eggs that get laid in the java moss (my striatum tank is a natural set-up that is self-sustaining--I always seem to have a dozen+ fish of various sizes in the 10-gal tank)?
