Will Shrimp and Cory get along?

[pyrode]

I'm planning a 30 gallon, and I want to get both corys and shrimp. Will they get along? Also, can shrimp get along with plecostomus?

Yup! I have all 3 in my tank. Doesn't bother anything. I also have a blue lobster who doesn't bother anything. (right now... ?)

Thank you! I was hoping so, I couldn't decide between the two and I was terrified I'd have to pick just one! (Of course, I probably would've went for the shrimp, my boyfriend really wanted those) XD

Because apparently they get like 6-8 inches and eat everything.

That's because it is true. They get large and crayfish can be bullies. Especially to fish. I've seen them kept with larger fish like armored cats and bigger pleco's. The shrimp would not last once it gets a decent size.
