Agree with some of the above suggestions...
Put guppies also can, air pump also can, but I suggest you try tetras, they're the best with shrimps and can eat the eggs too. |

how about golden white cloud mountain minnows?
they usually occupy the top region so should not disturb your shrimps at all. moreover they're so peaceful. more peaceful than tetras IMO. guppys will do great also |

I tried to put guppies and guess what? They are snatching all the food for my shrimps and disturbing them by squeezing themselves into the moss. |
