I'm getting a small tank for my little brother. Its probably going to be a 10 gallon tank, but he wants Ghost Shrimp, African Dwarf Frog, and Kuhli loach. So I was thinking
3 Ghost Shrimp
3 ADF
2 Kuhli Loach
What do I subtract(most likely the loaches) to make this work if it already does not work?
 
^ Personally speaking, i'm going to guess the frog would probably cause more problems than the loach, since wouldn't there be a bigger chance the frog could end up eating some of the shrimp (although thats just an educated guess)?

Also, just curious, is there a reason why hes choosing ghost shrimp over other species of shrimp say things like Fire Red or Cherry Red Shrimp? coz otherwise, from a personal view, there are a lot of much nicer looking shrimps compared to ghost shrimp, although they would also be smaller in size, but would be more or less pretty easy to breed...

Ghost Shrimp are easier to get, cheaper, and since this is the first time my brother and I will have shrimp I figured that it would be easier to take care of for both of us.
 
Fair enough, but just An FYI, cherry red shrimp are also super easy to keep and breed if you ever want to venture down that route...

Also, just incase you didnt know, Ghost shrimp wont breed in freshwater, although i could be mistaking them with another type of shrimp...

^ Thats cool... maybe it was the ammano shrimp that won't breed in freshwater then... but i do know one of them don't...but can never seem to remember which one it is...
 
I fed my dwarf frogs ghost shrimp just FYI. I would keep the loaches and try to find some sort of larger shrimp or just a little herd of decorative shrimp as was suggested.

Skip shrimp n add like 2 more loaches. If u only get 2 they wont be very comfy since they like to be with their own kind. And to fathomer... Gohst shrimp indeed do breed in fw but many others require brackish... Many others
