Fish are very opportunistic and for the most part will eat anything small enough to fit in their mouth. Some fish like to eat plants and wont threaten other creatures but some are omniverous and when hungry will partake in flesh. The best rule is keep your animals about the same size or choose ones that get along together.

A shrimp is a decapod crustacean under the infraorder Caridea, characterized by an elongated or compressed body with long legs, well-developed abdomen and antennae, and a long spine-like projection of the carapace. Shrimps live in both salt and fresh water.

The answer is yes. Some Freshwater Fish do, like cichlids and loaches. The other thing about snails is that they can reproduce so quickly that they will quickly over populate you tank.
