Red cherries and fish

Hi, newbie with shrimp but I have been keeping tanks for years. My question is kinda long so please bear with me.
I have 20 gal heavily planted tank with a beta, 2 german rams and 3 small panda cories. I first added 3 adult amano shrimp to this tank, they are doing fine.
So I figuered everything would be ok for adding red cherries. I got 10 from this site a few weeks ago. I have not seen any of them since the first day.
I would'nt think fish as small as the rams and beta would be able to eat the shrimp...am I wrong in assuming this? Or are they really good at making themselves invisable?
I have a filstar xp1 filter on this tank with the flow turned downed to almost nothing so I dont think the filter got them.
Thanks in advance.

I think the rams and beta thank you for the shrimp lunch.

So maybe try some adult cherries? The amano's are doing just fine. They have been in the tank for around 6 months.
