Oh, and also I have Tangerine Tiger shrimp. Would they survive and/or flourish and breed with the Zebra Plecos (9G) better or with my scarlet badis and clown killis (10g?)
What are these fish? Got them free with my tanks on Craigslist.

You realize each of those plecos is a $100 bill, right? if I where you I would either try to sell them or spawn them before something happens. Forget the shrimp. I would guess though, that badis and killies would be less likely to eat shrimp than plecos, but i don't know.
Interesting. Also do you know any fish that can coexist with the Plecos? Somethi g that can handle high temps and current.....
Cool, and I know this is off topic lol but is there any fish that can coexist with shrimp breeding colonies without eating them.
Danionella spp., & pygmy livebearer, maybe? grass carp (filter feeder LOL), anything uninterested in small prey e.g., a gulper catfish.
Not sure on scarlet badis, and i'd guess the zebra pleco's would be fine; but i've heard clown killies despite their small size will take even adult shrimp, but i haven't put this to the test!
Oh, and my zebra plecos won't eat anything. I feed algae wafers to my BN but my zebras show no interest :[
What should I do?
What else have you tried feeding the zebra so far? While they are an omnivore and will eat wafers they are also a carnivore as well so if you haven't tried it yet drop some good sinking carnivore pellets in and see if they will take them.
