I just put a small pond/pool in Alphas enclosure and filled it with feeder shrimp (more to keep water fresh than for a snack although you never know)..... but am also thinking of maybe adding a couple of fish and seeing what happens.

I also read as long as they have a varied diet, the threat from any fish is very low but I'm personally still researching

Yes I'm over in the UK and found someone on eBay just calling them River Shrimp, so I'm not too sure but they are a type of glass coloured fan shrimp I think.

How come that species?

just a small / cheap schooling fish which is supposed to be hardy and pretty adaptable to change........ I also couldn't find enough information to point to OR steer me away from any particular species and I'm not sure he'll actually eat them.

guess time will tell.
