What kind of pleco?

I keep (2) L-046 zebra plecos and a L-183 starlight bristlenose and they (plecos) leave the shrimps and shrimplets alone.

lordcycle, you should really perform a search in this forum in the future before posting a question. This (and other) question has been asked numerous times in the last few years. Also, my introductory article mentions that plecos (at least the most common ones I've had experience with) do not eat shrimp or their young. Topic closed.

PS: It's good to know that the more omnivorous plecos are fine with shrimp, too.
