Do these go together?!

Hi there!
As i'm just starting I was wondering if i could put German Blue Rams and/or Ghost catfish together with Cherry Shrimps? I hope they wont hurt the shrimps even when molding. I've done some research but can't find it
Also if they dont go along together what other fish do you guys recommend, that look great but wont eat shrimps

you're rams are a slight risk to shrimps and possibly your cats. Your ghost cats might take an investigative nip every now and again, but i dont think that will happen at all. An alternative to your rams would be gouramis, such as Trichogaster Leeri is a great alternative, but will remain in the upper and mddle sections of the tank. If you want movement on the bottom levels, consider corydoras catfish. There are many species to choose from and prefer a group of 3-6 members of a shoal. They're also very fun and easy to care for >>

I have neon rainbows, platties, pygmy corys, otoes, and liberty mollys with my cherry red shrimp. I've never lost any, as a matter of fact, since June when I started with the shrimp they have increased from 25 to about 500!

Just small fish, and lots of java moss will help out.
