I have vampire shrimp, I keep them with small fish, they are not agressive to anything even the smallest baby shrimp, I dont know if your fish would bother them, if they have a place to hide when they moult they should be okay, the loaches or angels might bother them though. A lot of their food they sift from the water with their fans but I think they need a little crushed flake aimed at their fans to keep them healthy. They seem pretty adaptable with regards to water. I have kept them in acidic soft water and neutral water. I dont know anything about keeping clams, except that it is said to be quite hard to keep them alive long term.
