Got some Red Cherry Shrimp in my 10 gallon since yesterday (sourced from a member here-thanks John!). Filled up the tank Thursday, put in the sponge filter thats been sitting in Jacks tank, and also popped in a couple of my Mystery snails to help keep the bioload going.
Shrimp came in yesterday, all doing good, one is turning red already with a saddle (eggs?). Just took a look and noticed the snails were up at the very top of the tank. Opened the lid and theres a clutch of eggs on the lid and another on the side of the glass above the water level.
OK, thats the background...
Question: WIll the snails (assuming they hatch) and the shrimps co-exist? Should I remove the clutch and raise them seperate (think I saw something here about floating them on some mesh etc).
Not sure now if I want to be a Snail-raiser or a shrimper!
Ideas?
some quick pics:

Clutch on side of tank
Whole shrimp/snail tank. Right above the remote is a shrimpie zipping by.
