I have 4 freshwater prawns (Macrobracium) 2 are 2-3 inches, 1 is 1.5-2 inches, and the smallest is .5-1 inch. They attack and eat comet goldfish. Is there a fish that can be in this tank with them, that wont be eaten or eat them? Also is there anything that I need to do to the water in my tank to help them stay healthy? I have a 15 gallon tank, with one wisteria plant in it.
I love my PRAWNS!!!

Welcome!
Freshwater prawns don't utilize as much iodide as saltwater, so don't bother dosing for that like you would with other inverts. If the fish you have is a comet, don't worry about it. They'll only eat planktonic prawns. A good additive would be a liquid or powder (powder is better because it lasts much longer) that re-mineralizes RO/DI water.

He's using distilled. Still lacking in dissolved solids that benefit the livestock.
