Hi guys
Planning ahead for my 19L tank that I plan to put Shrimp in and hopefully get lots of babies from!
However, shrimp are just not as good as fish to watch. So would like one or 2 fish as well eventually. I did consider CPDs, but they need a bigger group so I think they are out.
Scarlett Badis I would have a Male/Female pair only.
From this info, would they be ok. And crucially - would they be likely to actively hunt out my Shrimp fry? (i know they will eat anything that dumbly swims into their chomping range... but that is different to active hunters like a killifish I hear). I would consier a Betta... but they may go after even fairly big cherry shrimp fry...I'm hoping the Scarlett Badis size means only the very young are at risk.
Any thoughts or experiences?
(I dont want Ottos before they are suggested thanks ... not in this tank anyway)
Thanks
Paul
