ADFs and RC Shrimp?

[~firefly~]

Can you keep them together? I'm a month or two away from getting shrimp and wondered if a couple of ADFs would go in too. Happy to be shot down in flames with this as I don't buy before researching. Couldn't find a thread on this though.

The rcs will wind up as food.

Excellent. I will stick with my original plan then and only get the shrimp!

Thanks for the heads up. A lot of stuff online seems conflicting.

just to confuse you..... I've kept an ADF with RCS for about 2 years no issues at all!

Even more confusing as there is also a Betta in the tank! My other Betta's have always eaten cherries on sight!

Yea id say its iffy and depends probably on temperament of frog and maybe a bit on size of shrimp. A few of my frogs have tried to eat baby fish or little 1/2" baby cories, and my one tried to eat another frog, but the 4 i have right now wouldnt hurt a fly (except for the one that tries to eat the other frogs occasionally when they get too close during feeding time).

Yeah I don't think I'll risk it. The tank is only 30 litres (6 gal?) so just the shrimp colony will be fine.

Now if I could just get this fishless cycle finished...gah.
