has anyone kept these guys with shrimp? i am thinking of adding them to my gastro tank, but i keep shrimp with them, and i am wary of adding new fish to the tank who i have not kept with shrimp before??

I have kept other species of homaloptera types (H. smithi, etc.) with shrimp and not had a problem. I do think they probably feed on some of the tiny shrimp fry but nothing serious.
By the way, where did you get these?

i haven't bought them yet. just looking into them....i found them on gunpowder aqauatics site. never kept anything but sewellia and gastros thought it would be cool to branch out.

Gunpowder does not have them, if you click on the item it will tell you they are not available.
(and the listing was like this for a few months now, I click on it to check once in a while --- this is kind of annoying to see items listed that the vendor does not really have and may not have for years.)

Among other fake items on that site is Pangio myersi -- for me even more annoying.
