Setting up Shrimp Tank

[GobyMaster11276]

Hey everyone, I recently decided I wanted to setup a shrimp tank (with RCS). I'm planning to have a 75l tank with:
-10 red cherry shrimp
-10 ember tetras
-1 freshwater neon goby.

I was wondering if I could use this type of sponge filter for the tank (obviously with two operating at once), or if a different type would be better. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

ember tetras

These will go after the baby shrimp but the adults should be ok.

freshwater neon goby

Will love your RCS for lunch.

I doubt there is a fish in the aquarium hobby that wont eat shrimplets.

Only reason I keep RCS in tanks with fish is to give my fish something to hunt.

Oh. So will the freshwater neon goby eat the adult RCS? I read that their diet was mostly algae and they were peaceful, which was why I was going to put them in. Thanks for all your help so far.

Also, what do you think about the filter? Will two be alright? I'm just hoping that they will be suitable for the shrimp.

Sorry my bad the goby will be fine, I cant see an issue with the filter.
