Okay, so I got a small (azoo) powerhead for my 20 gallon so that I have more flow. What I have is as follows
20 gallon
Rena 55 filter
heavily planted
CO2 canister being fed in for the plants
3 corys
3 cherry barbs
1 german blue ram
8 cardinals

I know I can get a bamboo (flower) shrimp. Any other shrimp safe with this population? I am not too interested in snails at the moment and although I would love crayfish I understand that won't work with my fish (if I am wrong please let me know).

Thanks - confirms what I thought. I give them enough - they don't need any extra lunches.

Will my german blue ram eat them or harrass them? Or will the dwarf bother my cories?

I hear more stories of "dwarfs" being fine. But Ive had a few full grown crays and they anihilate the plants and uproot them and happily catch sleeping fish lol.
