to keep the fire shrimp or not to

nanonøkk · Dec 17, 2020

ok so i bought a fire shrimp before i got my wrasse which i had my problems with but here’s my question

so the part of the rock where my wrasse likes to hangout is the same place where the blood shrimp likes to stay

and here’s my problem i read on a post somewhere i forgot exactly where that their fire shrimp chases down smaller fish and stuff because they are in its territory

so my question is do i keep the shrimp or do i get rid of it i just as looking for an opinion on this before i make a final decision

oh and here’s a picture of my wrasse for making it all the way through reading this if you did

Fire shrimp are cleaners. I dont think its a problem having both in the tank. Mine has never chased any fish. I do see it cleaning them when they belly up to the bar.

I don’t see an issue with keeping the shrimp and wrasse, one will likely move out or they’ll be peaceful. If it bothers you though, ship me the shrimp!
