Flower Shrimp into the mix

[sailor]

Would a couple of flower shrimp be ok to add to my 55 gal
stocking is this

6 GBR
3 honey gourami
10 neon
3 small clown loach (on loan from another tank)
3 lazer orange cories

Thanks in advance

The only thing I would worry about would be the gouramis, but I doubt they'll do anything.


Do you have any pics of the lazer orange corys? I am getting curious.

looks good, theres a slight chance the rams may go after them but its minimal. cories are harmless, clown loach are harmless, neons are harmless, and gouramis are too since theyre top dwellers

The shrimp are about an inch bigger than my gouramis. They are 3 inches plus.
I will try and get some descent pics of the cories tomorrow.
Here is a link to what they look like

I think they would be fine. They probably get 2-3 inches I'd say... The gbr's might be xcurious for a day or two but after that should leave them alone. Is the tank planted so they have somewhere to hang out at???

I have a java fern mat and a bunch of others I don't know what they are lol They are green and leafy lol. I forget what they are. The flower shrimp are 3 inches plus. They are at least an inch bigger than my biggest fish in the tank.

You are aware that they are filter feeders right?? They eat micro-algae, infusoria, micro foods.

Yes I was reading up on them when after I first saw them, thanks for the heads up tho.
