I'm getting ready to do another 55g planted and had these shrimp recommended as an Amano Shrimp substitute. Anyone have any experience with these guys? From what I've read online is they are fairly small, about 1 inch. Current plans call for a pair/trio of apistos - either aggies or cacatouides - a pair of Laetacara, and maybe a pair of bolivian rams. Residents will also include (probably) rummynose tetras and either cherry or rosey barbs, the ever present corys, a few otocinclus, and maybe an SAE or two. My biggest concern is with the cichlids. Even thought they are on the small size, I don't want them to be picking the shrimp apart limb by limb. I've kept the Amano with the above fish before without any problems, but the Amano are about twice the size of the reds (If the info I've read is correct). Thoughts, opinions, experiences?
Thanks,
Ken
