Can black shell shrimp be raised together with zebrafish, and what fish can be mixed with

Black-shell shrimp can't be raised with zebrafish, because zebrafish has the habit of eating shrimp. If black-shell shrimp is small, it will be eaten by zebrafish. Moreover, when changing shells, black-shell shrimps will emit a fishy smell, which will attract zebrafish, and zebrafish will easily eat them. If black-shell shrimps are larger, they will attack zebrafish, which will cause zebrafish injury or death. Therefore, when raising artificially, it is best not to raise black-shell shrimp and zebrafish together.

1. Can black-shell shrimp be raised together with zebrafish

Black-shell shrimp is not recommended to be raised together with zebrafish, because zebrafish likes to eat shrimp, and black-shell shrimp is mild in character and not aggressive. If the black-shell shrimp is small, it will be easily eaten by zebrafish. If the black-shell shrimp is large, zebrafish may be injured or even die when attacking.

2. What fish can black-shell shrimp be mixed with

Black-shell shrimp can be mixed with guppy, moonlight fish, Mary fish, traffic light fish, lotus lantern fish, etc. These fish are relatively small in size and mild in personality, and generally do not conflict with black-shell shrimp when there is enough food.

But in polyculture, breeders need to choose adult black-shell shrimps, because young black-shell shrimps are small and may still be eaten. In polyculture, breeders also need to set up shelters or aquatic plants for them to have hiding places. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the mixed fish have enough food. Only when they are full will they not attack the black-shell shrimp.
