Im looking to add some shrimp to my 50 gallon. I have 2 blue rams
2 swordtails
6 rummy nose
3 sizzortails
5 cories

What shrimp would be most easily visible in this size tank ( i hear theyre very small) and will i have an issues with them getting eaten?

i would start with cherry shrimp. you can always move on to more costly shrimp later.

Amano or bamboo shrimp would probably be the best bet/s. Large enough to be visible, and also relatively safe from the rams. Just make sure they have cover, any shrimp is vulnerable right after it molts.

Risky, IMO.

The Rams and Swordtails will make short work of most small shrimp.
