What fish are these shrimp compatible with?  I would like to put a few RCS in my 10 gal. and maybe get them to breed once established. The fish I have already are: 5 neon tetras, 1 flame dwarf gourami(male), 1 fancy guppy(male), and a corydora.  I also have a few live plants:   Water Wisteria, Java Moss, Java Fern, and a dwarf water lily.

The gourami and/or guppy may eat them...they are very small (1/2" full grown). You could try it, but get the biggest ones you can, and if you plan on breeding them they will need a tank of their own because basically every fish will eat the fry.

Wow, I didn't realize that they only got that big.  I thought that they grew close to 1 1/2 inches.  Well anyways, I think that I will add more Java Moss to try add more hiding places for the shrimp.  Will this be an okay idea if I put it on substrate, or won't the corydora be happy with this.

I'd tie the java moss to something with fishing line because otherwise it will float around aimlessly.

Okay, thank you.  I have a nice piece of driftwood that I have some moss  attached to already.  I think that when I do get more moss I will place it on a piece of rock I have (also the rock that my Java Fern is attached to)
