coral banded shrimp i've read go after fish and can even kill small ones
they can be very aggressive...can even kill other inverts
i think you can add a bunch of different kinds and not have a problem...as long as they are peaceful to other shrimp... i cant remember the thread but i remember seeing somewhere someone did a shrimp tank and had a long list
if i find it i will post a link here

You could add more than that to a 210. I have more shrimp than that in my 46 gallon lol.
With the coral banded shrimp, there are tons of mixed opinios with them. I usually think that if a large one is in a small tank, they will be very territorial and chase fish (and rarely kill and eat them) But in a 210 it should be fine, as it will have alot of space for itself and space for the other shrimp.
But they will commonly show aggression to shrimp/fish that come near them, but have never (in my experience) killed a shrimp or fish. I have a 3 inch one with two sexy shrimp and anemone shrimp
