You have room for the Rams, when stocking a good ratio is 1 male/2 + females. They will most likely eat the shrimp

Color is good, but to increase the visual appeal it would help to add more of the types of species you have. Increase the Cory to 6 each, the Danio to 8-10. It is much more visually appealing to have for example 10 flashy Cardinals in a tank schooling around rather than 2 Neons, 2 Serpae, 2 Silvertip, etc.

Keep in mind that the GBR are calm and peaceful and may be bothered by too much agitation from super active fish, although it's often good to have *some* dither fish. And consider that the Cory, Danio, and Tetra are schooling fish and need to be with more of their own. They will also show you more personality and cool species-specific behavior when in the comfort of their own kind.
