Vampire can climb?

How good climbers A. gabonesis are? Can they climb vertical surfaces? I use plastic net or glued sand on side glass. dwarf shrimp can easily climb it and use this aditional surface. What about vampires? What can they climb too?

Filter shrimps and babies...

Hello I have tanks with CRS & RCS. I like very much A. gabonesis and A. molucensis. Can I put some of them to tanks with RCS/CRS? Will not "filters" catch and eat newly hatched shrimps?
