Is there any commercially sold carnivorous fish? I don’t want a big fish but like almost guppy sized fish (little bigger) that will eat shrimp. Specifically the little shrimp in the Can-O-Shrimp things where it’s like tiny (maybe freshwater) shrimp. I’m not limited to basic pet shops like Petco, I know of a place that sells more exotic fish and like eels and stuff.

I’m a beginner, so I have little to no experience. I’m going to college soon, and the only pet we’re allowed is fish in a tank no bigger than 10g. Since I’ve grown up always caring for animals, it would be weird not to have that responsibility.
I was thinking about a dwarf puffer, but the only other fish they are compatible with would be an oto or ghost shrimp, and I’m not sure a 10g tank would provide enough algae for an oto or two. I’ve heard that you can have one dwarf puffer per 5g, but I wouldn’t want to risk that, so I’d only go with one. The problem is they’re so small, I feel like I would loose it in 10g.
I was also considering getting a few albino cories, but I couldn’t find much information on how many I could keep in just 10g, since they like to school. Not to mention they are bottom dwellers, I’d like to have a few middle-top fish.
I’m looking for fish that are fun to watch, require some care but are still hardy. I was also thinking I wanted real plants. Any suggestions on that as far as care, type, how it affects fish, etc are very appreciated.
Thanks!

I have been to loads of fish shops in search of live food for my breeding of betta splendens, but it seemed that they only stocked them on a very random basis.I replaced live food with boiled earthworm cut up very finely (it works great), but i went to all the hassle of finding or digging them up , scalding them with water , cutting them with a scissors and freezing them for later…. and being always told by my fiancee that I was disgusting. One day my 6 year old daughter returned from a toy shop down the road with “sea monkeys”? I never heard of them either, on close inspection they turned out to be brine shrimp that a child could harvest and keep them for a guaranteed 2 years, they multiply or breed or whatever readily…..I couldnt believe it, happy days, so its the toy shop for pet food and pet shop for pet toys ( i have dogs too).

Do you know where to get that little box that pet stores have for fish? My ghost shrimp is having some babies and I need something to separate her from the bowl. Here’s a picture of what I need:

hello, well recently i have seen a few shrimps like “ghost shrimp” and “cherry shrimp” and have liked both. I was just wondering about what sort of size tank i would need for about 6-8 shrimp and what other things i would need to buy to get a nice clean healthy shrimp colony going. i like the ghost shrimps best but whenever i look on google the links are all about breeding them, im not sure whether i want to get into all that? looks pretty hard work. basically all i want is a few happy shrimp swimming about in a apropriately sized tank. if anyone has the time, might they write a list and sizes of all the items i need to achieve this? thanks for your time!
