Can Blue Rams be kept with shrimp or would I just be supplying them with premium live food? :lol:

it depends - do you want to be able to see the shrimp? i have shrimp in all my dwarf tanks, but they quickly adapt to become nocturnal. they hide all day under logs and in crevices, and then do their scouting at night. so if you want them as a clean-up crew, yes you can keep them, but don't expect to see them and don't expect many babies to survive - and you need heaps of solid cover for them that they can squeeze under/into. but if you want to see them, i wouldn't recommend it. i've often seen my apistos and rams with a mouthful of even adult shrimp. i don't mind so much - must be the stupid ones that come out in the daylight!
