What's a good shrimp for a community tank (if any) with angels, rummys, panda corys, apistos?
Like for food? Even if the apistos leave them alone (which is doubtful in my mind) the angels will certainly snap up any dwarf shrimp (caridina or neocaridina sp.). You could probably keep a singapore wood shrimp or a vampire shrimp, though those can be difficult to care for as they're filter feeders. There are others out there, like some macrobrachium sp. (red claw, etc.) that grow larger, but those tend to prey on fish once they get big enough. Ghost shrimp might work as they're a bit larger.
My malawa shrimp tend to be pretty hardy and wily, but even they have a tough time surviving in a tank with platies and a krib or two. I don't risk my neocaridina with fish other than corys except fry.
