come get me tang police!
Okay, maybe we define topdweller differently. I define topdweller as a fish that spends most, if not all of its time at the top of the tank. If i saw my angels do that I'd be testing the water.
My main point was that saying that angels live on the top and shrimp live on the bottom isn't really a reason to keep them from being eaten, since both creatures have the capacity to go to different levels of the tank at any time they please. The larger the tank the better the chance that shrimp have, but it's still not something I would do if I valued the lives of the shrimp.
Also to touch on another post, it can be a little difficult to pick out a pair at the pet store, especially if they are still juveniles, but just work something out with the LFS owner/worker to see if you can trade out later on if needed, no sense in getting half a dozen of them at once unless you have the intention of serious breeding.
