No. They will leave your shrimps alone. But they do grow big. Some species grow up to 30 cm long. So they may not be so suitable when they are bashing around.
Get something else smaller. Otocinclus should be a good alternative.
Cheers,
Hi all, is it advisable to put "helicopters" in shrimp tanks? I mean would they mince up my shrimps/shrimplets? I'm all ears

helicopter can grow quite big. I used to keep one which is around 22cm.
that is when they are young.. they do grew quite big and mine is 5-6inch inside my CRS tank.. it won't eat up shrimps and quite efficient in algae.. most of the time, it will just stick on my driftwood than on the glass and they don't come cheap either..Originally Posted by Matt

That's good. I'll transfer them out when they grow big then

Never create what you can't control
Do a search on Sturisoma or whiptail. Example,btw... helicopter where can buy? got any pics of this fish? or any profile of it?

They eat just about anything they can find, but should be primarily herbivore. Remember, they grow quite large, so you will need a tank for it's size eventually.
