Hi, I've set up new 20 gal long tank, with small school of 5 Harlequin Raspboras, is it possible to add cherry shrimp to the tank? I know keeping shrimp and fish is a risky business, but they seem to be pretty quiet, and its only 5 of them, I am not planning to add more fish to the tank, Its a 20 gal long

Shouldn't be a problem at all. The only thing is the Rasboras might pick off the odd baby shrimp if your shrimp start reproducing and don't have enough places to hide. Having said that the shrimp will probably produce enough offspring that they will still grow in number despite the fish eating a baby now and then. I keep Harlequin Rasboras with my RCS and haven't had any problems.
