i'd would be careful with the black skirts
in my experience, even small black skirts will eat your shrimp. I placed a bunch of glass shrimp in a tank with them, the smaller ones (about the size of a cherry red) were eventually eaten by them. The smaller tetras would swim around with a half-swallowed shrimp sticking out of their mouths for a few hours. If they spit them out it was for a split second and then would put them back in so their buddies couldn't snatch them up from them

So mutch for being piecefully....
Hmmm to be honest I was more concernerd about the bushynosed.
I think I will try some ghost shirmp (glass shrimp) as an experiment.
I was looking forward to getting some too.... if I could find some here in Canada.
Maybe I could get a wood shrirmp.....
Thanks for your help,
