Gouramis (besides the very small species, such as dwarfs, sparkling gouramis, honeys, etc.) are usually happy to eat ghost shrimp, as are many catfish. I don't know of any snails that would be capable of eating a live ghost shrimp, though dead ones are another matter.

I put two sparkling gouramis in with my cherry shrimp and they still attacked legs and antennae. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003	I started with 20 ghost shrimp in my 10 gallon. At the time it had 3 under an inch danios, and 2 small gold barbs that were waiting to be moved to another tank. One week later I didn't have ghost shrimp. ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel. The life, the love, You die to heal.
