Will they eat my shrimp?

Hello all, I'm just wondering out of the fish I currently have, which will eat my RCS?
1 BN Pleco
5 White Cloud Minnows
9 Guppies (3 male, 6 female)
5 Cardinal tetras
And I'm hoping to get 6 or 7 KuhlI loaches or a few Celestial pearl Danios.

My question is, will they be eaten by any of these guys? There is plenty of plants in the tank so baby casualties wouldn't be that high I'm guessing?

The loaches will eat snails so no doubt shrimp and guppies are jerks usually so will nip at shrimp possibly and eat whatever fits in mouth.

KuhlI loaches do not eat snails. Some other types do but kuhlis are safe to have with snails. They might eat a new baby shrimp as will most fish but can't eat anything much bigger than that. The ones I'm not sure of is the white cloud minnows. I have never kept them. Alison

What I am saying is the kuhlI loaches, CPD's , guppies, pleco , cardinals should all do fine with the shrimp. You may loose a baby shrimp once in a while but they breed so quick you should end up with a bunch. The only ones that I am not sure about is the white clouds with shrimp as I have never kept them and really don't know anything about them. Alison
