Fishes vs Prawns

[mantise08]

Hi there, i have some enquiries....thinking of buying some fishes and prawns.....

saw some small fish, like rainbow and wanted to buy but will they eat up the prawns??? Or will the prawns eat them up???

What type of prawns or fishes should i get so they won't eat one another???

Can some pals enlighten me???

Thanks.....

are you talking about prawn or shrimp? Shrimp will not eat up live fish. On the other hand, fish depend on species and size do eat/attack shrimps

heh heh, welcome to the forum mantise08 =) To answer your question any small fish you buy in bags are very safe for any shrimp/prawns.

You should be more concerned about the shrimps however. As a general rule, stay away from shrimp with large pincers. Anything else is fine.
