Damsel in 5 Gallon?

[Obsessed with fish]

Yeah I definitely won’t go for sexy shrimp if there’s anything that’s likely to eat them going in the tank!

Sounds like a great idea! I hope all goes well.

Fish that are likely to eat shrimp are the larger 5-6” fish (Even then, they only go for the small .5-1” shrimp).

Ok fair enough, thanks for the info. I wasn’t sure if there may be small fish that could harass larger shrimp. I definitely won’t be getting a 5-6” fish in that tank so sounds like I’m safe to put any shrimp in there

Sexy shrimp are a different matter and can definitely be eaten by fish a lot smaller than that. I’ve seen juvenile bangaiis prey on adult sexies for example. Just fyi

Yikes! Ok good to know. That would be heartbreaking
