Are shrimp safe with mushrooms?

[chris124]

Hi I have a 25 gallon tank with 2 t-5 bulbs and I;am thinking about trying mushroom but would like to know if my scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp would be ok with them and is my lighting good or do I need to upgrade to t-5 HO? Thanks.

I don't even think my cleaner shrimp even knows there are mushrooms in my tank.

You can try some Actinodiscus mushrooms. The shrimp will be fine with them. What is the brand of fixture and does it have a decent reflector?

You need at least the T-5HO lighting, 2 lamp fixture should do ya.
The Shrimp will be absolutely fine.

The combo is fine, I have a scarlet and a Blood red in my 180 with a good amount of mushrooms and never noticed any issues.
