hmm....should be the other way round. The guppy can bite the shrimps and eat the shrimplets, if any.

hmm... so shrimp bite guppy or the other way ?

should have no problems ? i keep my guppies with my shrimps , no problems so far. but the guppies might bite the shrimps and eat the shrimplets when they are hungry.. good idea to have alot of plants for them to hide thou.

my tank is only 1.5 ft, so i dont have a lot of hidding place

I lost a guppy this morning. 4x guppy with 30 crs. Wonder how he when missing.

Some hiding place at the bottom of the tank for the shrimps will do.
Guppies usually swim at the top waiting for food.

I ever lost 8 tetras. 7 without a trace. suspect they may have ended up in my filter but never checked. 1 was found in the vicinity of the tank. Did you check your tank surrounding?

It could have became food for your shrimps.

Watch out for the ph requirement between CRS and Guppies.
Guppy don't like low ph.
I keep Guppies with fire red and sakura in 4ft tank, so far no problem.
