Do loaches eat cherry shrimp?

Long story short i got 1 clown and 1 yoyo loach Jus wondering if any body knows if a yoyo loach or clown loach will eat cherry shrimp or are my shrimp safe for the moment? Or should I donate the loaches to my LFS I save my Cherrys. I got a good punt of cherry shrimp so their population isn't in immediate danger but some females are about to release some shrimp fry and I dont want te loaches to num num on my shrimp. The 2 loaches I got for free

The loaches will totally rip through your shrimp. I've been raising them for 6 months and started with 7 and now have over 200. As long as they can't fit the mouths of another fish they are pretty safe. But the babys are fair game to just about any fish out there.
