I'm interesting in adding a few adult cherry, yellow cherry or maybe some tiger chrimp to my aquarium, but was just wondering if they are compatible with some fish and wont get bullied or eaten?

I have a 100L tank with the following stock:

4 x Zebra Danios
4 x Three lined corys
4 x Cardinal Tetras
1 x BN Pleco
2 x platys
2 x Rachows Killifish
 
How big are the danios in there? I think they should be fine if you have live plants and plenty of hiding spots .

I'd say that the Danio's are about 5cm. And yep I got lots of plants and potential hiding spots for them.
 
Top up on the schools first, the fish would benefit from it. Ideally you'd have the following:
6 x Zebra Danios
6 x Three lined corys
6 x Cardinal Tetras
1 x BN Pleco
2 x platys
6 x Rachows Killifish

The shrimp are less likely to be bothered if there are enough fish in each school to keep themselves occupied.

would my 100L capacity be ok with all those extra fish + a few shrimp? dont want to risk over crowding.
 
Sorry, not sure what I was thinking, this one is correct!

Yes, the tank will take whose without a problem, and should be able to take more if your filtration is up to it. Shrimp wouldn't be a problem at all in terms of bioload.
