Should I keep the New Babies Separate from the Amanos?

Are you new fire reds juries or peewee's?

Juvies ought to be fine in the tank with amanos. Peewee's however are a different story and likely will get trampled during feeds. If you are concerned, amanos are habitual smash and grab feeders. Place some pellet foods first to sort them out and feed baby food there after. There's a reason why shrimp baby food is powderized as it goes everywhere, hence giving younglings a fair chance at eating.

Juvies are like half an inch to 3/4". Peewee's are tiny like 1/4-1/2". No one should be selling u peewee's.

Sure. They will likely be hungry after travelling. Pros normally purge their shrimp two days prior to shipment to minimize the amount of waste produced dueling the trip. Fairly common for cross continental delivery. If you decided to keep them separate for now, increase aeration or have some water flow in their container. Couldn't hurt
