Planning for a Lake Inle biotope aquarium: Is the babaulti green shrimp native to Inle Lake, does it go with emerald dwarf danios and Sawbwa barbs and do the latter two fish eat them?

They will likely be ok - the Sawbwa may go for youngsters as they are a bigger rasbora than the emeralds. From a quick google the green shrimp are rare in the hobby but not impossible to get which is interesting.

Do the Sawbwa barbs actually eat the shrimp? Or do they leave them alone?

They won't eat the adults but they possibly might go after the tiny shrimplets if the shrimp start breeding, I think it is only a might though.
