clown loach with RC shrimps

[tamzor]

if i placed a few clown loaches in a planted cherry shrimp tank would the shrimps get eatten? even the baby one that u can hardly see

I would guess that the youngsters would easily get picked off. I'm not sure, but I would guess that the CL would dismantle the adults. If I ever put krill in my tank my CL will take off with a small chunk and have at it. I haven't kept these together, but it wouldn't be my choice of tankmates.

Not the best combination. You better not try it since clown loaches eat crustaceans.

Shrimp, form the perspective of a loach, are basically snails with legs and a softer shell.

alright its a no go then i guess

Depends on how much you like those shrimp...

YES they will definitely get eaten and if the loaches are small, they will eat the RCS as soon as they are able to.
