Hello,
I think you shoudn't mix Shrimps with goldfish. The most goldfish will be glad about the food - certainly this means dwarf shrimps.
How ist the temprature in the fishtank? |

Hi there,
well Chris is right, you shouldn't keep dwarf shrimps together with any type of goldfish (shubunkin, fantail, bubble-eye - whatever) They all will feed up the shrimps within seconds...
But still, a lot of goldfish keepers do socialize their fish with the Amano shrimp (caridina japonica) and it works pretty good since that shrimp grows much bigger than its dwarf relatives...
So, in case you are thinking of keeping shrimps together with some of those beautiful creatures, then you'll do best in choosing the Amano  |

...the temp is good for nearly all shrimps, so the Amano Shrimp is possible.
I don't know this goldfish so I can't say anything about them. |

yap, the temperature is fine and both the celestial as well as the telescope can be kept with the Amano shrimp. Make sure to choose some fully grown specimens, for young ones could end up as goldfish food.
Some people report that the shrimps will be pretty shy at the beginning, but as soon as they get used to the fish, they'll be seen quite a lot in your tank...
Now if you decide to get yourself some I wish you lots of fun with'em - they are at least as beautiful and interesting as the dwarf shrimps |
