 |

Hi I have my tank stocked with
6 Black skirt tetras
4 Julii Cories
2 Black Mollies
Can I put ghost shrimp in my tank? Also what do they look like? What is their care level? How do I take care of them? I have a 20 Gallon tank so how many could I put in?

Your corydoras would probably eat the shrimp.
But otherwise, you could keep them. They're generally about an inch, clear/transluscent, easy to care for, cheap, and you could have a nice group of them in a 20g. But I don't recommend it because of the cories.

oh.... they would seriously eat all of them? They are so small though... How big do chinese algae eaters get? Would I be able to keep one in my tank? Are there any cichlids I could keep in my tank?

No CAE's. they get big(6+ inches) and get very aggressive as they age....so much so, that they can be kept with african cichlids.
You could get rams, bolivian or gold/blue, pretty much any species of apistogramma, any of the dwarf lacertas, such as golden dwarfs, curviceps, etc., and checkerboard cichlids and kribensis. Any species of dwarf cichlid from South or Central America would do, but stay away from any African species, excluding the Kribs. Just make sure that you have lots of plants, caves, etc. because the south american species are pretty timid, and like their hiding spaces, and the kribs are aggressive, but if you have anough visiual barriers, you'll be fine.
