is Boraras Brigittae fish safe with Shrimplets and what fish are good tank mates?

[alanchow76]

Hi shrimpers,
Any one kept Boraras Brigittae with babies shrimps?
Do the shrimps babes get eaten/beaten up by small fishes like Boraras?

I realised tiny neons,galaxy,badis badis and other fish do wacked live tubifex worms with their mouths, otos not sure but saw them munching/sucking on them.
Only boraras so far I see haven't taken any action....

If they can nipped even on worms won't be safe for shrimp lets, cos one peck on them can seriously made them up lorry...

Otos are 100% shrimps safe. Boraras do snack on shrimplets but if only it is hungry. Provide hiding spaces and it wouldn't damage your colony

The colors usually improve after they get adjusted to the tank. But I have seen both brigittae and merah packed in the same bag sold together as one..
This is the difference : http://msjinkzd.com/news/which-borar...ctorial-guide/
