Turning this thread into a SHRIMP SAFE list. This would mean at the very least juvis but it would be better to have adults, I'm sure. Please add your experiences with shrimp-safe fish.

neons
cardinals
otos
guppies

ORIGINAL POST: I am very interested in keeping shrimp but my hubby is vehemently apposed to our house being over-run with tanks, LOL! So I am trying to keep the number of tanks that I set up to a minimum. I have a 46g display tank in our living room with cardinals,otos, cories, a BN. It will eventually house a school of praecox rainbows and a pair of rams. From what I am reading, it is best to have the shrimp in first before the rams, if I put them in there at all. But I wanna do all the research first and then get them.

So what I am getting at here is how do I find out about the fish I have without asking about every single fish (which I am sure is annoying to shrimp keepers!)
