Quick question which may be obvious to some people, do small catfish get along with shrimps?

Cory's would be fine, and plecos probably ok, but anything with a larger mouth like a Hoplo would enjoy a snack or two.

Catfish are a huge diverse group, so yes and no.

Carnivorous plecs will likely eat them.
Corys seem to take no notice, but will probably eat shrimplets.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!
