Algae-eating shrimp rarely go after healthy plants but they'll occasionally nibble at them.
Your Tiger Barbs will devour the shrimp if they can. I watched mine tear 5 ghost shrimp apart before my very eyes!

Oh no
 hopefully they will last a little bit of time, as the tiger barbs are very small at the moment also they will have a job finding them as the tank dwarfs the fish in there, and its fully planted. i haven't seen the shrimp since the second they went in lol |

Haha, you probably haven't seen them because they got ate!!! Never underestimate the ability of tiger barbs to tear things apart into smaller pieces that WILL fit in their mouths, haha.
I no longer keep tiger barbs for this very reason  [acronym:101a828be8="Hope this helps (or) Happy to help"]HTH[/acronym:101a828be8], Joshua...
