Can larger corys coexist with young shrimp?

Post by bettaMagenta »

I'm planning to add some blue shrimp to one of my tanks, but I don't want them in the same tank as my Cherry shrimp. I've got a tank that's currently housing 4 adult black Cory's temporarily, until I get my next bigger tank set up. My question is, would they eat shrimp that are smaller than 1/2 inch? I know shrimp usually come in small, so I'm a bit concerned about the safety of the little guys.

I've had cories and shrimp together before, no issues. I'd go for it, they're pretty chill. Been wanting some blue shrimp myself, they're my favorite, but the good ones are pricey. Would love to see pics when you get them, please.
