Why Endler compatibility matters
Endlers and Neocaridina may use the same aquarium, but their shared space and the safety of newborn shrimp need consideration. In a shrimp-focused aquarium, the choice should also support steady routines, visible livestock, and access for basic care.
Before you act, check fish access to young shrimp and competition around food. Compare the item with the rest of the setup and note any recent change that could affect what you are seeing.
A careful way to proceed
assess the tank's cover and observe several feeding periods before deciding. Make one adjustment at a time and watch how the aquarium responds during normal observation.
Avoid assuming adult shrimp behavior predicts what will happen to tiny young. Labels, products, and tank conditions differ, so use a reliable guide as context and record what you directly observe. If uncertainty remains, ask an experienced shrimp keeper before making a consequential change.
