Thanks,

I wouldn't put any shrimp in there that I would be heartbroken to lose. I have yet to catch my loaches actually eating a shrimp, but I have put 20 ghost shrimp in there, and I have never seen more than three since. Doesn't mean the loaches are getting them, but wouldn't surprise me at all.

That said, I think a full grown Amano would be safe at least until it moulted. Young shrimp, though, hatchlings especially, wouldn't stand a chance.

Hmmmm... Thanks, I think it is worth a try for me - as I might not end up keeping shrimp after all. Thanks!
