Ignore the clown killi fish, she likes to photobomb.
Yes I know some shrimp keepers cull the duller ones, but I refuse, I love all my skrimps. I don't care if their 'grade' goes down over time, they're my babies.

I've had good luck so far by pairing them with 5 Zoogoneticus Tequilas in a 40 gallon breeder. The fish definitely can eat the baby shrimp, but having plenty of plant/algae masses to hide in should mitigate that. They are great fish in need of conservation and not much harder to care for than your more traditional live-bearers, like guppies and swordtails.
Side note, one of the female Tequilas just gave birth yesterday and the other two appear to be pregnant!
I wasn't familiar, what a cool fish, congrats on being a tequila grandparent!
Also, holy shit you weren't kidding:
