You mean if shrimps can keep with guppies? Not advised. Especially if u have juveniles or babies.
My newborn 2 weeks old guppies attacked my juveniles.

Recently I saw quite a number of small insects with green head floating on my tank surface. Dunno if those are the dragonflies.
Previously don't have such insects dying in my tank.

I got quite a few, including copepods and seed shrimps. That stupid fat bug that crawls in and out of soil, I also forgot the name. Lol.

Dragonfly nymph got legs wan. I saw one in my tank the other day and freaked out. Almost as long as my Mexican Dwarf Crayfish. Used the gravel cleaner and sucked it out. Now on the lookout for more, but so far, haven't seen any, which is even more worrying. All my fauna in there are mostly bottomfeeders like cories, loaches, suckerfish and otos.

After reading this thread I decided to take caution and looked more carefully inside my tank..and it paid off!spent hours taking out my schrimps and going through my plants and all because of this bugger..
