Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp Behavior and Compatibility
Small freshwater shrimp lead an active life in general as they constantly consume algae or other food sources. Their size also remains small, so you cannot keep them with large enough fish or fish prone to eating them as they will quickly become a snack that we do not want to see. Focus on keeping fish that are non-aggressive and retain a small size throughout their life, so you get to keep things harmonious for your aquarium shrimp. Some species worth exploring for your freshwater shrimp to live with include the following:- Blue-eyed rainbowfish
- Boraras rasboras
- Celestial danios
- Emerald dwarf rasboras
- Ember tetras
- Endlers livebearers
