Hi all, I'm looking for inverts to be tank/fry janitors in some blackwater tanks I'm building to keep and breed Parosphromenus spp. My first choice was Asellus aquaticus, but I'm having a very hard time finding a vendor that will ship them to California. So I'm considering trying Tangerine Tiger shrimp (Caridina serrata).
I've read varying reports about keeping Caridina spp with paros:
Thanks,
Ben
I've read varying reports about keeping Caridina spp with paros:
- Some people seem to be just fine doing it.
- Some find that the paros eat all the shrimp.
- Some are concerned that we don't know whether the Caridina are fry/egg safe. Since the paros are rare/endangered, this is big reservation if it's a possible impediment to breeding.
Thanks,
Ben
