I wouldn't put any cichlids with the shrimp. Sooner or later, the shrimp will just be expensive snacks.

If you relocate the shrimp, a pair of keyholes would be a good addition to the tank. They are really mellow little guys. Angels will eat the shrimp and probably the cardinals as they get bigger.

They (shrimp) will almost certainly become a meal for any cichlid you add to the tank. If you did not ahve the shrimp, you could go with any of what has been suggested, as well as a pair of pelvicachromis pulcher, though they can be brazen during spawning.

The red-clawed shrimp might be eating some of the cherries. They are predatory--they take the place of crayfish. But cherries breed like roaches, so you might stay ahead of the game.
