Helicopter Fish + Shrimps?

Does anyone of you keep keep fishes in your shrimp tank? I see aquariums like C328 keeping whiptail catfish (helicopter fish) together with the CRS. It seems they don't attack the CRS, but will it feed on the shrimplets?

I guess it depends on fish, they could be mouth itchy den go munch on them. I keep mine with Otto. So far no problem. Juz give ur shrimplets plenty of hiding space should be ok

no my royal whiptails does not disturb nor eating my shrimplets.bigger shrimps does not disturb the baby whiptails too

they can co-exist without any problem.

whiptail breed with whiptail and shrimp breed with shrimp.no hybrid though

I saw the whiptails too, they are really really small >_< doubt they will attack the shrimps

it would be named'' bloodly red helicopter whiptail shrimp''

actually keeping the shrimplets alive is much much easier than keeping the whiptail babies alive.i dont know the reason too.
though the whiptail babies are eating fine,but somehow they start to die in a wks time after birth.
i must hv at least a few hundreds of whiptail babies by now,but i can only see about 5 survive till 2'' above only

Actually I think it's the living condition different for both species?

I got no chance to breed them so no idea. Google abit for more info? I'm reading on pleco breeding currently. Might jump into breeding them as well.
