Ive always kept cherry shrimp in my show tank with discus and apistos. But my tanks are heavily planted. The last spawn I had from my apistos had to be removed and the only tank I had to put them in was my shrimp tank. 10 gal with 100 + shrimp and 6 tiny apistos. They were no longer than 1mm. For the next 5months I didn't see a single shrimplet. Now a month after they were removed from the shrimp tank I have tons of babies. The point is sometimes you can get away with semi aggressive fish and shrimp and even the smallest of fish can dine on juvi shrimp.
