Can Neon Blue Rasbora live with Yellow King Kong Shrimp?
Light caution
Why
- Adult Yellow King Kong Shrimp are safe with Neon Blue Rasbora, but it will take newly hatched shrimplets. Give the colony a thick mat of moss and let it reach 30-50 adults before adding fish, and it will still grow — just slower.
Sweet spot: both do well at 72–74°F and pH 5.8–6.5 — aim there.
