I plan on breeding ghost shrimp as feeders for some of my other fish. What are some fish that I can keep with them? I have little experience with most community fish, so any advice would be appreciated.
 
Most community fish will ignore adult ghost shrimp, I think. However, the babies will be esy food. Stick to herbivorous and top-dwelling species of fish.
 
Even many "herbivores" will happily take something as small as a baby shrimp if the opportunity presents itself. Truly safe fish will be few: Otocinclus, true SAEs, least killifish (Heterandria), and your choice of plecos. There may be others; that's all I can think of in five minutes.

If theres fish in the tank, they will never breed, even if the fish won't eat them.

Are you sure? I've had Amano shrimp breed in my 25gal community, except all the babies were eaten I think. i only saw the eggs.

click here to see where I got that info from, turns out I was very far off(becuase I read that over a month ago), and the fry won't live if theres fish, but the adults will breed.
