    i bought a batch of tiger shrimps once and mixed it with my cherry shrimps. the tiger shrimps were bigger than the cherry shrimps, but after about a week the tiger shrimps disappeared. I didnt spot any carcasses and i didnt check the tank during the week because im not at home. do tiger shrimps and cherry shrimps mix well? Because it seems like my cherry shrimps anhiliated the tiger shrimps or something.

    Hmm... keeping them together could mean you are compromising something.

    What is the temperature that you are keeping them at? Tiger shrimps generally don't do well at higher water temperatures, while cherry shrimps can tolerate a wider range of temperature.

    my tank temperature is about 25-27 degrees. My cherry shrimp are doing fine, but is that okay for tiger shrimp?

    The recommended optimum temperature is 25 degrees and below. It doesn't mean you can't keep them at higher temperatures, just that there is the risk of them not doing as well.

    Have a read regarding tiger shrimps, http://www.shrimpnow.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=9
