    which ones are you interested in Leslie..It depends on the adult max size of the ones you pick.
    Smaller species as adults = more
    Larger species as adults= less

    stay away from the tiger barbs (they can be nippy).
    neons 4-5 (their schoolers)
    rasboras 4-5 (their also schoolers)
    with what you have I wouldn't add anything else as that will be pushing it imo.

    Pretty much anything will go after shrimp...after all it's live food that doesn't swim well.

    with the moss they'll have refuge to hide (but cherry shrimp are horrible swimmers imo)..babies they will defin eat...adults they may nip if they see them.

    Actually 4-5 neons will do fine but they will do best with 7+. I'm getting a few newers once I get some money for them :)
