guppies and shrimp

[livebearerfreak]

would 3 ( 1 male 2 female ) guppies and a colony of shrimps ( redder then cherrys ) be fine together in a 5 gallon?

A 10 would be better but the shrimps would be fine in a 5. Idk about the guppys

Yes the Adult shrimp should be fine, but if and when they breed, chances are the guppies will most likely pick off a lot of the babies...

I bought 4 shrimp to put in a 5 with a betta and 3 endlers stowed away in duckweed that was in the bag with the shrimp. Fast forward 4-6 months and I had 3 -4 dozn of each. Might not be ideal but the 5 won't stop them from going about their business.

meh, ill keep the guppies in the 55 then and the shrimps alone in the 5.. should get a pic of the 5. first planted tank i am doing

Guppies will eat baby shrimp. So if breeding them was your intentions i would suggest splitting guppies from shrimp.

Have a endler and shrimp tank. Never have seen a baby shrimp with the endlers, but have seen baby shrimp in my shrimp tank. But on the other hand, I have seen it done and work. Just doesn't for me.

Tho my water is so horrid that I lose a full grown shrimp almost daily, started off with a good bag of 100 cherries and has dwindled to about 25 or so. Can't wait for my ro unit to show up Friday
