Adding Neocaridina to guppy/endler tanks

Always been attracted to the little b*ggers. Is it do-able? I would expect the young to have serious attrition...

My neocaridina population crashed when I added B. brigittae to the tank. I don’t have experience with guppies or endlers.

I had young guppies in with my red cherry shrimp. All was fine until the guppies got bigger, and then the shrimp started hiding all the time. When I noticed one shrimp was berried, I moved the guppies to another tank. The shrimp immediately started coming out of hiding and got more active, and now I have shrimplets galore. I think the guppies intimidated them and were possibly eating their shrimplets.

I've got shrimps in multiple tanks. All of them are combined with fish. There are endlers, mollies, platies, least killifish and tiger teddies. They all live in harmony with another. And both reproduce normal overhere.
My fish are so used to those shrimps that those shrimps are left alone. But of course, this won't happen in all tanks of other people. The situation may differ in each individual tank.
