Ghost Shrimp

[ScottyD36]

So I got bored and bought 3 ghost shrimp to add to my fluval 13.5 gallon tank to add some movement to it. Is their any pro or cons to having them in the tank. Thanks.

You got freshwater Ghost shrimp like feeders from a local fish store, or saltwater Glass Shrimp (sometimes called ghost shrimp)? There is a big difference...

Edit: probably not a good idea not to use common names since they get used wrongly so often. Litopenaeus is a common saltwater type of shrimp and Palaeomonidae are the freshwater version.

I buy them 100s at a time to use as feeders, but they are as fun to watch as any other shrimp.

I agree they are very active and fun to watch. I have a clown fish, pistol shrimp and a wheeler goby. So who knows maybe they dont get eaten lol.
