Shrimp with Ghost knife and bristle nose

[medion]

Hi all.

I want to redo my tank (currently have cichlids) and want to get some glass shrimps and some cherry shrimp.

I am wondering if a ghost knife and some bristlenose would be suitable tank mates?

Thanks.

I'd say a big ghost knife will love to eat your shrimp

A ghost knife will gobble up your shrimp in no time.. Bristlenoses won't eat the shrimp though :)

It's unfortunate that ghost knives cannot be kept with small fish unless conditioned properly.... My ghost knife lives with Discus, I had a cherry shrimp overpopulation in another tank so I moved them across (expecting them to get chomped in no time), but my ghost knife doesn't look at them twice...

My mate tried the same thing and went through 50 shrimp in a week..
