Mollies will eat RCS offspring and adult both.

Except Ottos every other fish will go after shrimps, if they cant eat the adult ones they will try to amputate them, and shrimplets are easy bets.
Many can argue they have kept some fishes with shrimps happily, so dont wanna get into that..
If your mollies can see your shrimps, its party time...

Removing RCS from my tank is really tough.. So mollies idea doesn't work for me..

i didn't said anything from my side.

"Recommended tank mates include tetras, guppies, and smaller barbs"http://www.theshrimpfarm.com/articles/C ... Shrimp.php

and mollies and guppies are considered more aggressive then mollies
