I kept a couple goldfish in a 20 gallon before I got into live plants. I had ghost shrimp in there with them. The goldfish would occasionally nip at one but didn't eat them. I think they would gobble up cherry shrimp, considering they're a little smaller, and I wouldn't want to risk it with their increased cost. Also, cherries are pickier about water conditions and probably won't do well sharing a tank with goldfish.
