Threadfin and Shrimps. - Suitable?

[PKB]

Hi guys,

Just curious, have anyone ever kept Threadfin together with Sakura or CRS in a heavily Planted Tank?

Was thinking, these fishes has small mouth, would it be safe for shrimplet to co-exist with them.

Thank you.

threadfins can get quite big right? 5cm+? not sure if its worth taking the risk on the shrimplets.

try amber tetra, so far so good for me. even if I didn't feed them they don't attack the shrimps.

What about new born shrimplets? They dont attack those either?

I do have small shrimps, say about 0.8cm? Those new born, no insurance haha. unless got dense plants in the tank for them to hide, no insurance also.
