well I guess all questions have been favorably answered more or less. Ill start off with shrimps, trumpets and ottos. Later when the shrimp colonies have been established, maybe attempt with a couple of threadfin rainbowfish(keep it species only).

Shrimps are 100% safe with Ottocinclus affinis and Trumpet snails. Once their population increase, you can introduce other fishes. Add some foreground plants and mosses to provide hiding place to shrimps.

Well thats a dhamaka good news. Have you tried it? Threadfin in themselves are very hard to come by. But if they are that safe, then I might even be able to keep my dream blue pearl shrimps. letsparty
