 | Question about Ghost Shrimp |
| RainbowBoy Small Fry Posts: 4 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Nov-2008 | I have a 55 gallon aquarium that will be housing 6 electric yellow cichlids. I have always wanted to keep some kind of invertebrate and I think ghost shrimp are pretty interesting. My question is, can I keep ghost shrimp with electric yellow cichlids? I know that electric yellows are omnivores so I wasn't sure whether or not they would eat the ghost shrimp. |

My Cherry Red Shrimps are in with Khuli loaches and Cardinal Tetras and not a problem at all Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?  VOTE NOW VOTE NOW |

| monk4yy Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 2 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Nov-2008 | I was wondering if there was a plant that is espically good at hiding ghost shrimps that are not dangerous to either goldfish nor turtles. |

I assume you mean will not get eaten by the the Goldfish and the Turtles. The only thing I can think of for complete safety is another tank. The turtle would thank you for Te snack food.
