Hi, nice setup but if you want your shrimps to flourish I think you shouldnt be keeping your guppies with shrimps, most likely they would become their food...

Better keep shrimps by themselves in there. I ever saw guppies chasing a shrimplet or even a bigger shrimp in the tank before.

They will attack ur shrimp when your shrimp molt. So best is to have no fish in the tank

If you want to keep fish with shrimp the best is to keep it in a tank that is planted like a jungle! But if that were the case you would not be able to view your shrimp so it kind of defeats the purpose of keeping nice shrimp.

Out in nature of course there are shrimp together with fish but in our case we have the shrimp to admire not as food for our fish. If we wanted to have food for the fish I don't think we need to pay so much for a shrimp. Just a ghost shrimp will do. Those cost a few dollars a bag at most.
