I have no experience, but I can just say-after seeing my angel always constantly attack my poor nerite snails, I have re-thought putting shrimp in my tank.

Don't have a lot of experience with ornamental shrimp, but seeing the way my mbuna react when an insect hits the water surface (I occasionally feed fruitflies, and student occasionally throw various insects into the tank) I find it unlikely that any shrimp would last too long in a tank full of them.

Would not work. I feed my cichlids ghost shrimp and know many people who feed their africans ghosts.

Yep afraid it's all right.I feed my cichlids river shrimp occasionally and they are gone in seconds it's a free for all.
