Praecox Rainbow shrimp safe?

Hi Everyone!
Are Praecox Rainbow shrimp safe? I did research and it says they must be fed tiny food so that leads me to believe they are shrimp safe but wanted to check it out with you all first.
thanks

I'll be a bit hesistant on those.
Some have tried threadfin rainbows with dwarf shrimp and say they don't see larger juvies and adults eaten but i doubt that there aren't any shrimplet casualties behind the scenes.

I would be careful with any dwarf shrimp with Praecox. The larger Amanos or Ghosts would be OK but I think they would eat any of the dwarves once they get full size. I had some in my tank at one point and they didn't bother the Amanos.

Yeah I think you guys are right. Im heading over this am to get some gravel to cover my sand its driving me crazy with the dust. Ill check out what fish they have when I get there he had mentioned he had several different types of nano fish so Ill prob get some of those. Im not happy with the endlers they had loved all the females todeath except 2 out of 10.
