I am low on red shrimps but I will have plenty of plants probably this weekend. I will pm you if I go ahead and do a trim. I am in Hurst not to far from arlington. There is also a meeting scheduled this month that you should make. There are always free plants at the meetings.

Like your tank by the way.

I understand. I will still let you know what I have this weekend and maybe you can stop by and pick some up. (if you want to)

Won't the ghost shrimps kill the cherry shrimps? I'm not sure they are compatible, I never have tried to mix them.

JAXON777 · 11-06-2009, 04:34 AM

They havent killed any cherries in my tank. They will eat the dead ones but no worries about them and cherries. The ones you have to worry about are the ones with big pinchers. They are actually some kind of prawn and will get huge. Sometimes they get sold as ghost shrimp.

Ghost's are very opportunistic IMO. I've watched them hunt and eat anything smaller in body size than themselves.

Where did you buy Cherry Shrimp ??
I never see them in Petco or Petsmart :P

JAXON777 · 11-06-2009, 04:38 PM

I got them from this forum from a guy in Oklahoma and a fellow DFWAPC member.

I've never had a problem with my ghosts and cherry living together either.
