Will an amano shrimp eat rech cherry babies? I have some very cute small babies (white and red) in my tank and I don't want them eaten.

Amano shrimp are algae eaters. They only time they would ever pick on something meat is if it was already dead. I have kept cherrys and amanos together. The only problem was during feeding time it wasn't fair it was like 3 year olds fighting football players over food.

yep amanos grab the food and run...the cherries get the leftovers

agreed - some of my Amano's will fight fish for food! Drag and algae tablet under a rock overhang WHILE fish are trying to get at it.

Nope I keep amano's with my cherries all the time, I usually see the small little shrimplets riding on top of the amanos.
