    Hi,
    I wanted to introduce some fauna to my planted tank.
    Cherry Yamato shrimp, Tiger shrimp is a Must. Then it comes to fishes, what are compatible to the shrimps, is Oto, Dory catfish good choice?

    And finally where is a good place to find them in west area?

    Thank you

    C328 and Polyart both carry regular stock of cherry and yamato shrimp. for tiger, i believe both bring them in but it's not regular. you may want to drop them a call to confirm stock availability before heading down. last time i was at Polyart 2 weeks back, they had a new batch of tiger shrimp in

    Hi fugu_88,

    I think otos are suitable with Cherry Shrimp as the former are more preoccupied with the glass surfaces than the shrimps... (based on my own experiences & observations).

    I'm thinking of getting more Cherries also as my previous batch (bought ten rather small Cherries) only left with ONE survival... . Also don't know the reasons on why the nine 'return IC' so fast... Anyway, does anyone knows where I can buy Cherries (more hardy ones...) in the north-eastern part of Singapore? Does those big fish farms in Pasir Ris there sell more cheaply? Do they entertain sale like 10 or 20 pieces?

    Will go C328 to get some cherry or sakura, i like red shrimps. But rearing wise, any special care must be taken or not?
    Then what fishes are compatible with them, hope they dun makan the shrimps?
    And algae eater which type is suitable?

    Sorry for too many questions...

    Thank you
