Bamboo shrimp and Black skirt tetras

Hi to everyone.
Need an advise. In my 55g I have 1 bamboo (flower) shrimp and planning to add more fish as few Black skirt tetras or few Barbus (tiger or gold).
Would they nip or hurt on the shrimp?
It almost never hiding, brushing the gravel or cleaning the filter. I have other fish as guppies and platys, seems that they go OK with the shrimp.

The Black skirt tetras should be fine with them, but I would be worried about the tiger barbs with them. I have never owned an aggressive gold barb, but they do get rather big, one of mine was 3" when he passed and he would deffinately take advantage of a newly molted shrimp.

Thanks,
My bamboo is 2 inches long now and he still grow.
What kind of Barbs are not too big and NOT TOO aggressive?

Cherry barbs are one of the most commonly found smaller species but there are also "False" 8 banded barbs, when kept in a group I find these fish absoutely stunning. Then there are the clown barbs, they are hard to find but I have seen them before, they look alot like bumblebee gobies but are barb shaped and are about an inch long, more or less. Out of these, I would go with cherries, they are pretty and the albinos are absolutely stunning if kept in the right conditions.
