Bamboo Shrimp in 20g Comm tank

[Toodleypops]

Hey i saw some babmboo shrimp the other day and watched them filter feed and decided they were the next cutest thing i had to have... so some questions about them to see if i would be right to own one...

1. I know they filter feed but would Hikari Micro Pellets be small enough for that?
2. I know they get like 3-4 inches so would they be compatible in a 20g comm tank with 1x apisto, 1x curviceps, and some danios/white clouds

thanks for any input

1. no 2. probly just make sure theres nothing in the tank that will harm him when he molts

so is there special food that i would need to get for it? Like first bite powder?

and i havent noticed any aggression whatsoever in that tank, everyone is showing full colors but ill keep an eye when/if i get it. thanks

They should be fine. Ive had a few with my big balas and some others and they are doing fine. Just give them easy access, a plant or rock, or they will swim to the filter, and some hiding spots. Mine all actually hang together a lot. Also food is not an issue, just feed your fish they will be fine. You will notice they eat waste products.
