Now that my pest-snail crisis is passing, I have decided to keep the red cherry shrimp, and am adding some amanoes to the mix. already there are two glass cats, and three baby albino BN plecs. but uh... hmm... something's missing. help me out, please?

what I want is an eye-popping, impressive little schooling fish that like the upper to upper middle areas of the tank, and are shrimp-friendly... any ideas? thanks!

I dunno about shrimp-friendly (Aaron), but furcatas are all of those things.

Yeah, they're sweet fish. They live in the upper realms of the tank so they'll leave shimp alone. Exotic Aquatics had an awesome deal going on them this past weekend. 3 for $7.99

I got some off of aquabid - and yeah - they don't bother my shrimp at all.

Would Espei Pencilfish eat shrimp? I'm under the impression they are also top dwellers...

They shouldn't eat shrimp.
