Default Are YoYo loaches and flag fish shrimp safe?


I've moved all my mollies to the outside tub but was wondering if I needed to move the rest of my flag fish out to the other tub and put my yoyos in another tank? I'm wanting to start a cherry shrimp tank.

I dont know about flagfish but I have 6 yoyo's and they ate all but my shrimp and snails. Also they constantly uproot my glosso that I am trying to get to carpet. They are coming out of the tank next weekend

the only safe fish known for shrimp are ottos, i have a fish/shrimp tank now with 35 ember tetras and 30+ shrimp. the tetras will eat some juvis im sure but tanks heavly planted so alot of juvis can hide and live. all fish will eat juvis for dinner.
if you want a shrimp tank dont put any fish it
