Bamboo shrimp do not eat sleeping fish. They are about the most peasceful things you could ever have in your tanks.
Also, whether a fish eats brine shrimp is no test as to whether they will bother bamboo shirmp! All of my fish eat brine shrimp, but none of the ones I have so far will bother bamboo shrimp. (That includes my dwarf puffers, well, they don't bother the Amano shrimp in the tank, and DP experts tell me that if your DPs don't bother one kind of shrimp you're safe with pretty much all kind of shrimp.)
Perhaps Ackerman meant ghost shirmp? That is a good test as to whether you fish would bother the bamboo or other kinds of shrimp.
