To the shrimp, first off they weren't realy planned for this tank setup, i tried to get them out, but it was impossible to get all, i sold about 750 to some guys localy, they bred like crazy. To your question, they leave the adults mostly alone, but eat the baby shrimp. Since my tank is heavily planted and has lots of caves, they still multiply. To your question about the number which works with them so they don't beat each other up, I started with 12 and it worked okey but wasn't perfect, I stocked them up to 24 and their behaviour changed to a more balanced behaviour in regards to chasing each other around also they became more interactable, they came to front when I was sitting in front of the tank and they sometimes even followed my hand around. With your tank size and 50 of them I think you'll be fine.

They seperat sometimes and seek shelter between the plants an rocks, i guess some of them need sometimes a break from all the fuzz. They are more calm dowm there and they ignore the plecos completly. I haven't had them in lower temps but i had them involuntary at higher temps because of the hot summer with peaks at 29°C they were calmer then but they didn't seem so happy then.

I have 24 Silvertip Tetras in a 200l aquarium with 4 l38 plecos, a pair of rams and some neocaridina shrimp. I run the tank at about 26-27°C which is better for the rams and plecos. So long story short the Silvertip Tetras are some of the most active fish I ever had, but they are most of the time only busy with themself and don't bother the other fish, the smaller shrimps on the other hand will be hunted and eaten, but i have way to many. So I guess if you don't choose to sensitive shy fish you'll be just fine. Maybe think about your kuhlii loaches.
