Shrimp-compatible dwarf cichlids

What dwarf cichlids (Apistogramma or otherwise) are safest with dwarf shrimp (cherry shrimp, crystal red shrimp, etc.)? I understand all will eat shrimplets if given a chance, but am hoping that some are safe with the adults and generally ignore shrimp, unlike GBR or Apistogramma cacatuoides that will actively hunt and decimate a population even in a large tank.

I have kept shrimp with borellii, they seemed to largely ignore the adult shrimp. But there was also a lot of cover for the shrimp (plants) so that some shrimp lets would survive to continue the population

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
