Setting Up A 10G

[thereverendturtle]

Ok, so I have several 10g tanks sitting around and have decided to do some cherry shrimp and rabbit snails. It will have play sand some plastic plants (ease of removing babies), a mature sponge filter and heater set at 78F.
Now my question is, I rescued 5 sterbai corys, all missing 1 or both eyes. Will they be safe with the shrimp, more specifically the babies? Or should I just leave them in my community tank?
I was also thinking of adding 6-8 Harlequin Rasboras.
Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated. 30 years of fish keeping and this is my first foray into fresh water inverts.

As long as you provide adequate hiding spaces, (moss is the best) the shrimplets will have plenty of places to hide and avoid being eaten. Cories and harlequins are too small to eat adult shrimp.

That was what I was thinking. I guess I'll have to add some moss.
Thanks Crossfire!
