Hi,

Not advisable if you are hoping to breed the shrimp.

The shrimplets will most likely be eaten. While those adult shrimps will also be at risk and under constant stress from those tetra - affecting their health.

However, it is still possible to house them together IF you have a large tank with many plants as cover for those shrimps.
E.g. a heavily planted 422

You guys are right....That time I put fish wif tetra, my shrimps one by one died with no reasons. It can't be my parameters because all are met; temp even set to 25 C. Now my shrimps looks more lifely and happier without the fish.
