Now you can keep some fishes in shrimp tank

Sianzation · 30-07-2010, 02:09 PM

tested by myself and monitor for close to 2 mths already.

Not sure what fish is this called. Bought from C328.
Blue eye tetra?

they are being kept in my office tank with sakura and crs shrimps.

The reason why i purchase them in the 1st place is because of their small size and the size of their mouth which is small.

Until now they are living peacefully with my shrimps and shrimplets and today i just found that they are breeding in my tank too.
notice some fish fries swimming around already. (maybe the fries is also feeding on the Mosura tonic and Bio plus haha)

Please help to ID the below fish

Sorry for the poor quality pic as i am using iphone with zoom function to try to take the baby fries.

ID : lampeye panchax. Stay closer to top level. I prefer threadfin rainbow and have good experience with it along with shrimps.

Sianzation · 30-07-2010, 02:43 PM

are they egg laying or live bearing?

i only notice a few baby fries, or is the rest eaten by their own?

if they can eat their own fries, very likely they can eat shrimplets right

they are top level fishes maybe that's why they don't really go down and get to the shrimplets

I also kept fishes in my tank and they are doing well without killing any of my shrimplets as my shrimps can feed on the algae on the tank sides the fishes just swim around without attacking it. The fishes are neon tetra
