guppies are top/surface dwellers whereas shrimps are bottom dwellers... so i guess they belong to two different groups. If all goes well (ie. if the guppies are fed properly and not go hungry), then they should live in harmony.
My endlers and cherries are living happily together
No signs of any snack-time

Snacking will only happen when there are shrimplets... Witnessed my female Endler (smaller than guppy female) snack on cherry shrimplets...

Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
so far my guppies did not eat my shrimps...
errr...just bought one couple of guppies. Will the reverse happen? shrimps snacking on the young guppies..
In theory, this will not happen as the guppies will move too fast for shrimps to tear a chunk of meat out meanwhile. That is, unless you are talking about ghost shrimp.

My guppies are always eating like crazy, eating, eating and eating. So I don't think it will be save for shrimplets.
Another point to take note is guppies are very greedy and if you feed your CRS with algae wafers (for example), guppies will try to finish up the food before CRS does...
yup, agreed, very greedy fish
Guppies will eat baby shrimp! Shrimp will not eat baby guppies if they are alive.
don't think shrimp can swimp fast enough to catch baby guppies
