Will my red cherry shrimp get stressed and not even breed if neon tetras are in their tank?
Will my RCS get stressed?

come get me tang police!
If they have plenty of cover, they'll breed. It's hard to get them not to breed, in my experience. The neons might* pick off the baby shrimp, but if you plant the tank densely enough you'll have survivors

Do you know of any places/plants that would protect and keep my shrimp happy?

+1 to jetajockey. I've got RCS (20+) in my 48 gallon with Neons, Red Eye Tetra, Danios and a Bolivian Ram. They breed prolifically, but are usually in hiding. If I stir up any of the Java Moss or plants they scatter all over the tank. They really do tend to stick in the Java Moss, but if you look closely enough you'll see them in all the plants and under my DW. They're fun little guys, but you might want to also pick up a few Amano shrimp to help keep things clean and actually be able to see them once in a while, lol.

Java moss is one of the best plants for them

Okay. And is it true their colour is much brighter when on black sand?
