I am a lover of aquatic animals, I do my best to maintain their health and well-being in my fish tank, and I love cherry shrimp. All the options in the videos are precious species and the data of each one that you show us, really thank you, that information is very useful. My favorites are the Neon tetras, I think they give the environment more color and are good companions.

I love observing their mannerisms (when they share or bicker over food, when they scratch their backs, etc). 10/10 they make incredible companions❤

Three more suggestions: threadfin rainbowfish, norman's lampeye and smaller pseusomugil species like gertrudae. Endler's livebearers will bother shrimps, they have very strong hunter's instinct and they'll chase and pinch even larger shrimps.

Can confirm Endler's Livebearers are good tank mates, but I do suspect they snag a shrimplet now and then. Not that it seems to affect the shrimp population - they're doing just fine. I recently added the wild type neocardinas to a tank with White Clouds and Danio albolineatus. The females are berried, so we shall see, but they aren't bothering the adult shrimp. One tank has two nerite snails, the other has two nerites, three mystery snails, and some blue ramshorns and bladder snails hitchhiked in on some plants, but they're helping and are kinda pretty... I was thinking about taking out the Endler's and putting in Thai Microcrabs and doing an inverts-only tank. Anyone have experience with them?

Endler’s the least risky livebearers that you can try. Otos remain the safest fish you can buy for shrimp. Dwarf raspboras would be less risky than the endler’s

I have a 10 gal tank with about 10 cherry shrimp, 3 small guppies & 1 Kuhli loach (maybe 2 😇 tops) Ive spotted 2 or 3 heavelly pregnant cherry shrimp females last week but no signs of babies yet! I have few smaller/juveniles shrimp that live just fine & the tank is no joke 3/4 java moss at the moment. Is it possible 1 Kuhli loach (2 max) would be able to eat every egg or hatchling? Even if only 2 of 10 eggs survive adulthood, that would still seem very reasonable right? Im having trouble believing 1 Kuhli loach would go through all the eggs everytime & hopefully the babies r just hiding. The only darn reason the loach is even in there cuz its too thick to catch him. Any ideas? Thank yoy

@AquariumStoreDepot

Depends on nutrient levels. Technically a tank can go without water changes if the tank is full of plants. Shrimp are very sensitive to nitrates and TDS so they are less likely to go water change free than hardy fish that can live in a planted tank
