nova, don't put any of the glass shrimps into any type of tank with any other fish (at the size they are at) VERY expensive fish food! Would be ok if you have tetra sized fish and some plants. TRUST me!

I assumed 2cm would be big enough to not look like food to tropicals. Oh well.

I'll have you know its a very innocent term our grandmas wouldve used often.

The package arrived yesterday, all was well. Got some glass shrimp and some bristlenose catfish. As a trial I have put some of the larger shrimp into my aquariums, I think the Tandanus catfish will probably end up eating the ones in the big tank, but the ones in the small tank with the guppies, clown loach and bristlenose look like they will be fine. The rest are in another tank, hopefully they will breed (sliver perch food).

How big is your clown loach? My one loves little shrimp he is only about 3 cm long.

There is a clown loach in each of the tanks (to keep the snails under control), they are about 7cm long.

I may have spoken too soon, I can't find the shrimp in the big tank, I think they have been eaten. They are still alive and well in the small tank though.
