do tiger barbs eat all shrimps ?

Ok I am trying to setup a 27 gallon tank with 6 tiger barbs and 3 albino cories. My question is do tiger barbs eat all kinds of shrimp. I know they eat ghost shrimps , but my smaller tank has a ghost shrimp and I simply love it.
Was curious if there was some kind of shrimp that the tiger brabs would live alone?

Probably not. They find them tasty treats.

 

[swanandmokashi]

so size doesn't matter either?

They'll probably pick on it until it weakens and they can kill it.

My girlfriend kept a tiger barb with amano shrimp, and they seemed ok. I think as long as they're big enough, it would be worth a shot.

These shrimp are alive and kicking and growing like weeds in a tank with 8 Tiger Barbs. They are survivors of 10 that were originally intended for food. 5 are still with me. They have grown considerably and steal food from the Tiger Barbs and every other fish in the tank.
