adding a shrimp or 2?

[frankenfish]

i was thinking of adding a cherry shrimp or two to my tank but i want to make sure it will work first. i know the tetras shouldn't bother the shrimp but will the mollies? one is about an inch long and the other is about 2 inches. also the tank is not planted. would the shrimp be able to find enough food without a live plant in there?

or maybe snails would be better?

You really need to concider live plants for cherry shrimp... theyll hide effectively in a bush of plants or any floating ones.

I keep some cherries in a tank with a 3" swordtail and a 4" goldfish and they havent been eaten. Then again the tank i keep those in is the one in my sig...

Try amano shrimp w/o live plants. though all shrimp kinda want live plants...
