I have amano shrimps and bolivian rams but I had the shrimps first so they were fully grown before I got the rams. If the ones in your shops are small they might get eaten. Either try to find a shop with some big ones, or keep them separate till they've grown. To give you some idea, the females get as big as a dwarf chain loach, though the males are a lot smaller than that.

6 Bolivians and 6 amano in my tank - no bother!

Thanks to you both.My LFS has some reasonable sized ones, i'll give 'em a go
Just didn't want to buy some expensive fish food

i've got apistos in with amanos. Similar size to the rams, and they fight each other.

To be fair I'd never describe the amanos as food, they give back as good as they get.

Now the corydoras, they had to be taken out, my male is a psycho when it comes to them.
