Endler's livebearers compatible with RCS?

I understand that endlers wouldn't eat the shrimp, but would the shrimp be nervous like neons in a gourami tank? (trust me i know). Would they still come out a lot?:huh:

Adult shrimp shouldn't be afraid of those fish. The smaller shrimp might hide, but I wouldn't worry about the adult ones. I have some adult "blueberry" shrimp in a fish tank, and they go about their business non-stop!

OK, thanks. I wanted to make sure because a friend of mine keeps them with somewhat larger fish (platies, gouramis, etc.) and you can hardly ever see them.

I have a large colony of them with my endlers and they do fine.

Yep, me too.

My RCS are in with my endlers and there have been no issues. Both the RCS and endlers are actively breeding.

I have had my endlers in with cherry shrimp for over a year and both are breeding prolifically. I also have had endlers in with snowball shrimp, which are just a different color, with out any problems.

I have a tank that has only endlers and RCS. Both are breeding prolifically. I have a decent amount of moss in the tank where the endler fry and rcs juvies hang out. I'm sure that helps.

But I definitely don't have any problems with the larger shrimp hiding.
