I am wondering if it is possible to put Ghost Shrimp and Rainbow shark in the same tank? Thank you.

It depends on the tank size and how big the shark is. I'm pretty sure he would eat them though

Thanks Inkling. He is in a 55. He's about 3 inches. I think I'm gonna get a few snails for clean up.

But aren't rainbow sharks herbivorious? So I don't think that the shark would be interested in eating the shrimp. Now, about harassing the shrimp to death, that may be a different story, but I don't think eating.

Sorry I was thinking of a bala shark when I said that

I still say no to the pairing though since it will probubly be harrassed.
