Suitable Tankmates For Cherry Shrimp

[fishnovice]

Thinking of getting cherry shrimps. Will they be OK with small/medium angelfish, livebearers and 2in baby bristlenoses?

If the fish's mouths are big enough to fit a shrimp in then it'll be eaten. Even if the adults aren't eaten then the babies will be (with anything).

The best thing for shrimp to thrive is a shrimp only tank (saying that I had my cherry shrimp in with guppies (their maximum length was 2cm fully grown)) and the shrimp used to chase the fish.
