All about those lovely little gems of the FW World which have become more popular as of late. Also an area to discuss Snails and Invert Pests.

A Macrobrachium amazonicum would be big enough that your angels won't eat it—only problem is, in the middle of the night while they're sleeping, the shrimp might decide to eat them LOL.

I kept M.ohione and lost an entire tank of fish to the pair. Macrobrachium get huge and are very predatory.

Glass Shrimp, which remain small and don't cause much bother. Best to put them in before putting the fish in. Give them a chance to get settled and put in a lot.

Not a problem. In my Bolivia Journal as I've stated, I have pictures of HUGE Ghost Shrimp that we found in the Rio San Martin. At night, especially they were out, hiding out from the daytime predators.
