How will shrimp do with Apistos? What apistos work well with what shrimp? Will there be a problem with shrimp and fry? Will the parents kill all the shrimo when they breed?

I had a couple shrimp in a 20 gallon high with a spawning pair of cacatuoides. The cacs didn't kill them, but I rarely saw them after that. They stayed hidden amoungst the Java Moss, caves and driftwood.

Maybe they they only came out at night. Usually the only way I knew they were still alive is when I found their discarded old shells on the bottom after they shed. They must be ghost shrimp. :lol:

It all depends on the how small are the shrimps and how big are your apistos.

My apistos loves shrimps....meaning love eating them !!!! unless they are the huge YAMATO shrimps.
:lol:
