I have a bamboo shrimp in my community 30gal whose name is BB. I'm waiting (trying to be patient ) for a fish store to be able to order some cherry shrimp for me. They said that they would only come available in the summer... sigh. :D My bamboo shrimp is bright red with a cream stripe down his back and has seven cream spots on both sides of his body. He's awesome!

I voted yes even though the 2 red cherry shrimp I had died a few days ago Long story but basically I did have them for 2 months wasn't a water thing I believe they felt out numbered by fish and it stressed them out big time!!

At anyrate getting a 2.5 gallon and going to have a shrimp garden with only cherry shrimp, can't wait will post pix here :D

I used to have shrimp and snails in my community setup. At the time at had 7 tiger barbs in a 29 gallon and within 24 hours all 10 ghost shrimp had disappeared. The Golden Apple snail I was told I had ate my plants faster than they could grow. When I removed it to a 2 gallon bowl, it disappeared the next 2 days. I would love to have some shrimp to help keep the bottom of my tank clean.
