You just broke your own rule... Cories are considered big compare to dwarf shrimp. IMO a better rule is "if they can fit in the fish's mouth, they're dinner.

If you are planning to ever breed, I say that otos, cories, and some snails are shrimplet-safe.
Some say that they do best alone, and will show their brightest colors when living in a species-only tank.
The rough rule I have is that if it is big, they're gonna die. If they are tiny, they'll usually eat only the babies, maybe harass the adults. If you find something that is totally peaceful, then you are lucky. Otos and some cories would do best, but my opinion is that you should have a species-only tank.
What size tank is it?

C hastatus , habrosus and pygmaeus ?
All 1" or less. Yes, dwarf was left off the recommendation.
My "big" female habrosus might be a tiny bit over an inch.
He didn't specify pygmy cories. A lot of cories get over 2 inches.
Yes, you're right and he should have written dwarf.
Can you imagine the glee of a big Brochis in a tank of candy cane colored Shrimp LOL
