Is an Armoured Shrimp a compatible tank mate with 2 jack Dempsey's, 2 silver sharks (bala sharks) and one plec

Question

I have a 300 litre tank with five fish in at the moment. I want to add an invertebrate, possibly an armoured shrimp (Atyopsis gabonensis). Is my tank big enough? is the shrimp likely to be attacked by my cichlids (jack dempsey's)? Thanks for any help or advice u can give.

Answer 1

The first contributor article is pretty good and answers the question about the Jack Dempsey's.

If you are talking about a common or sailfin plec, then maintaining plant cover will be difficult.

Looks like you would have problems.
