The name Inle loaches usually refers to Yunnanilus brevis, they reach a max of 2.5" and are pretty peaceful or at least mine were.

Personally I wouldnt put zebras with any shrimp, the only loaches I have with shrimp are Acanthocobitis, Cobitis, Sewellia, Pseaudogastromyzon, Gastromyzon, Homaloptera etc.

Are they similar behaviour to chain loaches or zebras? My chain loaches were very nippy!

"Common" names are a pain. The likely candidates are:
