Shrimp only aquariums are without any doubt really cool, but for many of us they miss other Aquarium inhabitants. In this video I will give you my personal favourite tank mates I like to keep with Shrimp. On majority of them there are also species spotlight videos on this channel that will be linked in the description below.

Wonderful footage as always with great information! I know that in the aquarium hobby if you ask 5 people the same question you will get 6 different answers as what works for others may not work for you and vice versa. IME endlers are not good tankmates for shrimp. They are voracious eaters and they will swim energetically trough all the nooks and crannies they can fit. I commonly see their fry trying to eat live mosquito larvae that are literally bigger than themselves. Every time I had them with shrimp they always decimated the younger population. Some of the fish I've personally bred shrimp with are: red neon blue eye (Pseudomugil luminatus), neon green rasbora (Microdevario kubotai), ember tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae), CPD (Celestichthys margaritatus), emerald dwarf rasbora (Celestichthys erythromicron) and otocinclus catfish (Otocinclus affinis). There are other fish I'm sure would go just fine with shrimp but I haven't yet got the pleasure to keep them.

Well, for Shrimps to thrive with Endlers the tank need to be heavily planted. That way the younger population of both Endlers and Shrimps have a place to hide. Wau, thank you for your comment, those are some really intetesting species. Need to try some of them myself 😊

@@undersurfacechannel On an unrelated note, do you perchance have any guppy grass in your tanks?
