Can False Julii Cory live with White Glove Shrimp?
Caution — with care
Why
- No overlapping pH: False Julii Cory wants 6–7.5 but White Glove Shrimp wants 7.8–8.5.
- False Julii Cory will eat White Glove Shrimp shrimplets. The colony still grows if there is moss or another dense hiding place for the babies.
