About LinkBacksJust wondering which shrimp are suitable for a very calm community tank. Currently Stocked are Black Phantom/Cardinal Tetra's, couple zebra danios, amano shrimp. Despite the danios being douche bags now and then to the black phantoms, everything else is calm.
I do plan on 1 bristlenose pleco, 1 guppy, and then the shrimp, nothing more. Just looking to see if i can add some diversity to my shrimps, otherwise i'll be getting more amanos.
oh yea, its a planted tank, lots of driftwood

I would say Mountain Fan Shrimp (Atyopsis moluccensis). Cherries/Crystals and others wouls stay small and would hide all the time with active tetras and danios prowling about.

I can "give"(read small small fee) you a dozen or so cherries, mixed in colour to try out in case they do well you can move on to buying more expensive all red ones. Aquaclear sponge over intake would be required to prevent that from sucking them up...Pm me if interested...
