Re: Scleromystax barbatus and shrimp
I've never kept cherry shrimp, but my son tried keeping ghost shrimp with and the corys ate the ghost shrimp.
I don't think I'd recommend combining with cherry shrimp.
Hopefully someone with more direct experience can offer advice.
Cheers,
Eric

Re: Scleromystax barbatus and shrimp
My young Scleromystax arrived with a hitchhiker small cherry shrimp in one of the bags. I assume they were living with them from the breeder I bought them from. After a couple of days however the shrimp disappeared and there was no dead body so I think it was eaten. I don't know if they'd eat the adults but I think they'd eat any babies. If you really want shrimp maybe try the larger Amano shrimp - they are a bit more resilient to predation in my experience.
