Can you get freshwater shrimps?

Question

I am thinking of getting shrimps to my fish collection with a tank, can you have freshwater? if so, will goldfish or guppies be okay?

Many Thanks

Answer 1

If your goldfish are not extremely large, ghost shrimp should be fine.  Bamboo shrimp and some other fresh water shrimp are even larger, and should be safe with larger goldfish.  Check on-line to see some of the other types of freshwater shrimp, and their sizes.  None of the freshwater shrimp will be threatened by your guppies.

Answer 2

You can get ghost shrimp. (Like 34 cents at Petsmart) Your goldfish will eat them, but the guppies would be fine.
