I have been wondering for a while now if i should get some shrimp or not,i really like the look of them and find their lifes fascinating...so what do you think...should i get some/?

It really depends on what else you have in the tank and how many hiding places you have. Most bigger fish could decide to snack on your shrimp, especially since they are usually very small when you get them. If the tank is well planted with lots of places for them to hide, you will probably be ok though.

well i was thinking about having a 10-15g or something for them to be on their own in and have it fully planted with no toher fish in it.

That should work fine. They really don't create a lot of waste or bio-load so you shouldn't have any problems at all.
