Loaches Online Forum

I've developed a desire to introduce some Rhinogobius fish into my aquarium. However, I read somewhere that they eat shrimps.
As I have a growing population of cherry shrimps in my tank I don't want to introduce a fish that will destroy them. The shrimps breed in the tank with the fish I have; white cloud mountain minnow, dappled cats and hillstream loaches. Does anyone know if Rhinogobius would ruin that?

Most likely, yes. If you have good hiding some shrimp might survive.

Thanks. I have good hiding which I assume is one of the reasons how they survive when tiny at the moment. But certainly don't want my larger shrimps being eaten up too.

Which sp. of rhino are you looking?

Rhinogobius duospilus or whatever is available.
For example someone is selling them online but I'd also check a couple of my local shops too. But sellers rarely or never seem to state the exact species of fish like this.
But I've more or less shelved the idea of buying some because of my shrimp population.

I have been through the whole content of this blog which is very informative and knowledgeable stuff, So i would like to visit again.
