Shrimp species or community tank?

[MdmBudak]

Hi guys,

Do you have a specific species tank or are the various shrimps being housed together?

From what I gathered, there are two scenarios which might happen,

1) The shrimps might inter breed and produce a hybrid.

2) There will eventually be a dominant species and the so called weaker group will die off?

Just wondering, will the different species attack each other?

Thanks

If you are keeping crs I would suggest that you just stick to one species...

Shrimps are also carnivorus. I have seen larger shrimps like Yamato eating smaller malayan shrimps if they can get their pincers on their prey.

Cheers,
