what kind of shrimp? It should be fine. They may help eat some uneaten food.

i think they would be fine as long as they have some cover.The pros is they look awesome,are great to look at and help with cleaning up the tank.You can even sell extras if you get to many.cons i really don't think there are any

Its not that shrimp are super picky, its that they require stable good quality conditions. If you have good maintenance which is consistent they do just fine.
