Hi all.
Just got some sexy shrimp. I knew they were gonna be small, but wow, small is an understatement! I was planning on putting them in my nano mangrove tank with a banded pipefish, but they are about the size of the mysis he’s been eating.
What do you guys think would be better, taking the risk with the pipefish, or putting them in my frag tank with a pair of 3” clownfish?
Thanks
Dave

Currently I have mine with a big molly who has just giving birth and therefore are in my pico tank with 20 sexies. She's not touching them. I think that maybe the Molly and clowns have similiar sized mouths?

I think whatever fish companion you choose make sure not to drop the shrimps in like food. Drop them off on a rock or something, otherwise the fish will be much more inclied to consider the sexies a meal.

I put them in with the pipefish because they will be more viewable for me there. Everything has been fine so far.
