TB's are very well known for being nippy with tank mates. I dont think that shrimp would be a good idea. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I definitley would not suggest combining the two, especially since some of those shrimp can be a bit pricey. HTH Jen
