i have a 265 liters tank does the insertion of shrimps in my aquarium would be a problem becouse of the copper banded butterfly fish? would it nip them? and there is any chance that i introduce fether worms? i know and heard that she eats them immediatly!
 
She may pick/eat the dusters, I don't believe she should bother the shrimp. There are exceptions to everything of course.
 
The copperband will eat feather duster but will not bother your shrimp. I have one in a 72 gal. tank with two cleaners, a CBS, a blood shrimp and two peppermint shrimp and a pistol shrimp. No problems.
