I thought I'd upload a video of my small tank. I set it up as a cory fry tank but the shrimp multiplied too.
It isn't aquascaped or anything and it isn't dosed with ferts and co2.
So my apologies for the state of the tank.
I can't remember the last time I siphoned it to be honest because I can't do it without siphoning a shrimplet and I couldn't do it when the corys were small too. I don't clean the glass either because the baby shrimp love gorging on whatever builds up there. So all I do is 50% water change weekly.
The corys will be moved in the next month or two to a cory tank I am setting up at the moment, along with their siblings in another tank, but they get on pretty well with the shrimp. I've never seen them eating one, small or big.
 
Here they are:

Very nice!!  Your shrimp and cories look all nice and healthy.  The only shrimp I think that cories eat are the newborn babies and I think it more coincidental when they come upon them while sifting the substrate more than they hunt them down.  I am thinking of moving my 2 hasbrous cories into the my shrimp tank since they are small.
 
I haven't seen them but they may have snacked on some. It doesn't really make an impact on the shrimp population though.
 
Looks familiar! I'm thinking about moving some of my cory from the 55g to my 20g to see if they'll spawn.
