    I would say they are the safest. Mine didn't disturb my shrimp at all. Too small to disturb also.

    excellent, cause I have about 30+ boraras in my tank with 2 half beaks. I have been wanting to put more shrimps in for a long time. Surprisingly, my half beaks have never attacked my malayans, but I would rule it out as an exception given their greedy appetite.

    Yes planaria are irritating! Consider to get some boraras for my shrimp tank too. Are you still feeding your boraras or just let them slowly cleaning the planaria?

    i do feed them a bit, as the supply of planaria are quickly dropping!!! The last thing i want them to do is to feed on my shrimplets...

    Your boraras won't go after your shrimplet's food?
