Ghost Shrimp Tank Mates?

I breed albino and long fin bristle nose plecos for my local fish Store. I would like to make the tank look better but not have any predators to eat my fry. So of course I ended up thinking about shrimp. My lfs sells them for 50 cents each and I have a ton of in store credit anyway lol. I'm thinking f getting about 20 and they may or may not breed. And if they do they said they would like me to sell the baby's to them. (Ghost shrimp do not ship well and most die when in transit) since I'm close to them that won't happen. Anyway will these bother the fry or vice versa?

Might eat the fry if the fry are small enough (well, they do attack adult guppies, so why won't they attack little free meals).

Be careful, the aggressive Whisker Shrimp also tend to be sold as ghost shrimp. They will eat the fry.

Eh, they're pretty bold, so it's possible that they'd make a go for one if they were hungry enough. I've never had ghost shrimp breed for me successfully.

Maybe try cherry shrimp or some other color form of neocaridina?
