xxmrbui3blesxx Fish Master Posts: 1760 Kudos: 905 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Nov-2001	Will the rams eat them? I don't want them to eat them because they help keep my tank clear of algae problems.

I don't think they would try to eat the shrimp. If they did, you could try a snail, or a bigger shrimp. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

sly Big Fish Posts: 377 Kudos: 251 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	I have 2 Bolivians Rams with 4 Amano Shrimps and they are existing together peacefully. The Rams ignores the shrimps and show no agression whatsoever.
