Will ghost shrimp mess with my ADF?

i'm planning on getting ghost shrimp in my 10g to aid with the left over food process, plus i think they look cool. i have two ADF, female 2+inches and male 1 1/2-3/4 inches, would the ghost shrimp who will most likely be close to his size react to him as prey??? :huh:
 
Yeah, and vice versa. The ADFs look funny chasing the shrimp around but seldom catch one.

well i mean like actually mobbing the ADF and killing him, would they do that? that's what i'm trying to avoid here. i'd love to add ghost shrimp to my aquarium but don't wanna jeopardise some of my fish and stuff. i've kept them with other things before with no problems just wanted to make sure no possible casualties would occur
 
OK, I misunderstood the question. No, I don't think the shrimp are a threat to the frogs.

I think the frog poses more of a danger to any shrimp you add.

The ghost shrimp is too small and fragile to attack a dwarf frog. Make sure they are true ghost shrimp, and not the piscivorous variety, although I think an ADF would make short work of those as well.
