I'm not sure but I think that you're petty well stocked

I have amanos shrimp in a community tank and cherry shrimp in with cichlid fry and have had no problems yet.

I'd be worried about the tiger barbs picking at the shrimp and killing them and also been able to keep your water parameters in prestine condition with your tank fully stocked,possibly over stocked tank as shrimp are very sensitive creatures.

A relative of mine had amanos and lost them all with nitrates at 0.15ppm

If your tank has a lot of hiding places, the shrimp will probably survive, but you also probably won't see them every. The barbs, I think, would chase them around. Shrimp are smart enough to recognize fish that are potential threats, and will simply remain in hiding when such threats are around.

i was wondering the same thing, and Betta_dude told me that he has ghost shrimps with his tiger barbs and they get along fine.

I also apparently missed the blue gourami on the list. The gourami will try to eat the shrimp when they are molting. Again, as long as you have plenty of hiding places, this shouldn't be a problem for the shrimp's survival.
