I'm about to clean my gravel with my vacuum but not sure if ill hurt my shrimp
 
If they are breeding then you have to be careful when you are vaccing as you can easily suck up shrimplets. Otherwise it's harmless.
 
Yeah I went ahead and cleaned and just swam out the way. I did get one though it was pretty funny to see him try and swim out lol
