Can you trust the smaller boxing shrimps?

Hey guys.
Just a quick question.
Im a bit of an invert nut so have loads of little shrimps in my tanks like sexy's and such. I would really like to add a boxing shrimp to my nano tank and was wondering if the smaller variaties are regarded as 'safe' twards other shrimp?
By the smaller ones i mean the blue and yellow/gold ones.

Cheers
Mark

We have 2 of the blue ones ( a mated pair from Macca) and they are living fine with 7 sexy shrimp.

Cheers for that Mr Teee.
How big is the tank and how long have they been in together?
Do though show any signs of agression towards the sexy's that you have seen ?

Cheers
Mark

They are in an Orca nano - 12 Gallon.

They have been in there since the met, a couple of weeks ago, and I bought them as a mated pair from Macca.

They do not show any aggression to the other shrimps and regularly sit on the piece of rock above them. They have cleaned a couple of the fish in the tank too, and feed each other bits of flake that they catch.
