Since the fish is particularly inoffensive creature, it can be raised in one place with other fish or invertebrates which are not adequately large to eat it. Type of good mates for the shrimp is small fish such as Bumblebee, Gobies, Least Killifish, Platies, and X-Ray Tetras.
Snails also can serve as good companion for Rednose Pinochio Shrimp as well. Assassins snails are type of snail which can be kept with the shrimp since it rarely hunt these crustaceans. However, the most important thing is that the tank which accommodates them should come with adequate plants and algae.
