We do have ghost shrimp in our 12 gallon with molly fry, several months old and our cories and all is well. The shrimp don't bother any of my fish, it's more that the fish swin helter-skelter into the poor shrimpies. The only time I have seen the shrimp do anything that remotely upset me, was when I had lost a female molly, they were picking at her. I'm almost positive that she was dead before they began, as shrimp are a great clean-up crew.

I had pretty much the same group in my 20 gal and they got along just fine.
shrimp are great to watch also, as you can see almost all their innards, heart pumping + all

Feed the guppies well as they have a history of pecking and eventually killing snails or ghost shrimp if they aren't fed well.

I can't say enough good things about ghost shrimp! They are great at clean up, but you need to be careful...they like to jump out of aquariums...learned that one the hard way.
