syaeger Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I was reading that the Bicolor Pseudochromis (Dottyback) will eat "ornamental shrimp". My Cleaner Shrimp disappeared the other week and I have found no traces of him in or out of the tank. Would a Cleaner Shrimp be considered an "ornamental shrimp"? I was considering buying a Blood Red Fire Shrimp. Would this shrimp be compatible with my livestock?

JustPhish Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Yes cleaners would be ornamental, as would anything you keep which is not meant for human consumption. Link to comment
