Cherry Shrimps, Apple snails & Kuhli loaches co-exist in 1ft planted tank?

[Star-flog]

Hi,

Just brought 2 apple snails & 2 kuhli loaches, some cherry shrimps for newly set-up 1ft cube planted tank? Would this 'combination works'??

I mean would they fight or eats all the plants. I plan to grow only Java moss on the wood and Taiwan moss as the base.

The color of this creatures combination just great -- Apple snail (Gold yellow color), Kuhli Loaches (brown/while), Cherry Shrimps (Red/pink) against the backdrop of green. Any comments? or ?

I have the same concern too, the kuhli loach is going around everywhere and might just eat the shrimp fry..

agree..

although kuhli looks abit slow moving and seems harmless..... they are still from the loach family.....

cant find any info on whether they poach on shrimp fry... need help from the experts and experienced....

I Would Not Put The Loches In The Mix With The Others You Said
They Will Eat The Eggs Or Small Frys
Here Is The Formula 1gallon Can Support 1 1inch Fish
5 Gallons Can Handle 1, 5inch Fish Or 5, 1 Inch Fish
They Each Need A Cretian Amount Of Space For Food And Oxygen To Live Hope That Helps ...steven Mc Or Pogo714

Loach need water movement that is similar to it's native habitat. A 1ft tank might cramp it's swimming ability.
