How have others found for keeping various Bristlenose in either the same tanks as Crystal Reds or Cherry Shrimps? I expect to lose the odd one but will I expect to lose a colony of shrimps?
I keep cherry's and bn's together no worries.
Bns may eat the occasional shimplet but both my bns and cherrys breed regularly together.
Don't know if I'd trust them with Crystals as u don't want to lose any of their shrimplets
Should be fine, I have never had any problems with amano or cherry shrimp and plecs(including bristlenoses). You can provide shrimp shelters so that they have a safe place to retreat if you are worried though.
