YEAH! Especcialy the loaches they are known to eat inverts.

I have never had a problem with the gourami

They might not eat them, but they certainly will be hiding a lot of the time.

 

[nurglespuss]

The bumble bee will make a mess of them

Loaches wont eat shrimp. I've kept shrimp with both clowns and Burmese loaches not a problem at all.

It might be a case of try and see, get a single shrimp and see how he fairs?

I thought that my tiger shrimps had been eaten by my (huge) zebra danios but they had in fact jumped out of the tank! I found 2 crawling around on the floor. I have since found the others are still in my tank but because of the playful nature of my zebras they stay well hidden.

Beware if you have an arcadia open top like me!

Really? I had 3 burmese loaches in my tank, and then I added 4 amano shrimp. About the 5th day after I added the shrimp I saw one of the loaches eating shrimp remains, so I assume the loach killed it (and it was most certainly eating it).

However, I did see another message board post saying that clown loaches and amanos get along fine, so I suppose it works for some tanks, or something.
