ghost shrimp for kuhlis?
Would my kuhlis enjoy snacking on a couple of ghost shrimp?

I have ghost shrimp with my African Dwarf Frog and Kuhlies with no problems. Make sure you don't accidently bring home a Whisker Shrimp. We get a lot of Whisker shrimp in Florida, because they wash into the fish ponds at the fish farms during storms.
I love Whisker Shrimp, but they grow much bigger and stronger than ghosts. I can't imagine a Kuhlie eating a ghost shrimp. I would only get the ghost shrimp to act as part of your clean up crew.
I sprinkle frozen daphnia and baby brine shrimp in my kuhlie tank so they can sift it out of the sand.

OK, I brought home six small Ghost Shrimp (1/2 to 3/4 inch long) and tossed them in, expecting some excitement.
It was a fizzle. Nobody, not even the Angelfish, is the least bit interested in the shrimp, who are quite happy to hang out in the cave with the kuhlis and frogs. Cave's getting pretty crowded, but no one seems to mind.

should be okay
My 3 Kuhli are all plump from living happily with a colony of Red Cherry shrimps in a 14G.
The shrimps population is kept in check and Kuhlis are happy.

lol
The kuhlis didn't kill the cories. Their (the cories') cadavers merely were too good a meal for the kuhlis to miss.
