What a shame

I had a baby one and a adult one in my tank before and fell in love but then had to sell the tank. But now i have bought a new tank and have added some cory and some ghost shrimp and was thinking about another two but smaller ones.Im guessing ill have to wait till the lifespan of the shrimp ends.
