Clown Loach and Small shrimps

[robin]

Hi,

Anyone has any experience keeping CLown loach and small shrimps like bee, cherry etc in the same 3 ft planted tank?

I thinking of doing so but wonder if the loach will kill all of the shrimps.

One word....Don't

Clown loach are snails eater...meaning they can devour the shrimps as well..

So I suppose I can only keep yamato shrimps with the clown loach?

I am really going to try getting some bee shrimps to introduce into my tank.
The clown loach is still there.

Anyone wanna advise so that I can avoid a fatal mistake?

is not the bee shrimp a small shrimp?? or do you just like feeding the clown?

[loupgarou]

loaches will also eat yamatos lah. just a matter of time. once the yamato molts... its probably going to end up eaten

[ranmasatome]

or once the clowns get large enough..either way..

sigh think have no other way out but remove the clown
