In a ten gallon freshwater tank. Limitations would be that I have a crayfish living in the tank making almost any bottom dwelling fish easy lunch. Mainly, should I get snails, shrimp, or is there something better?

D/d has 6 gal freshwater tank. Wants a dwarf frog, algae shrimp, glo-fish, white cloud-does that sound good?
We’re fishless cycling right now, so just researching different fish, etc. for tank
ty for your answer. She wants one of each (dwarf frog, algae shrimp, glo fish, white cloud) in the 6 gal tank. Might this combo work?
freshwater eel, but don’t know what it is… ?
i’ve had a freshwater eel for a while but don’t know what it is… It’s dark silver, lighter on the bottom, long 1 piece dorsal fin. head is shaped that of a fish head but flat, it is about 40cm in length. fairly sure that it is not a “rope fish”. It is housed with several african cichlids, a 15cm long albino sucka,1 chinese algae eater, 5 mystery snails, 1 spiny/tyre track eel, 1 small bristle nose pleco and several shrimp (not sure of breed). Environment good condition with lots of live plants, some hiding places, good water condition, etc. Both eels a very active (day and night) all fish are hand fed. The tank is only though 3-4 foot long, but a good start!
Feed: live bloodworms and shrimp, frozen bloodworms, ready to introduce frozen brine shrimp! small and medium floating cichlid pellets, cichlid flake, algae bits, on occation feeder fish.

Aquairum Lighting Question?
Hey I have a 10 gal that I’m raising feeder guppies, snails, and cherry shrimp in. I have live hornwart (freshwater plant) growing really good and have plenty of hiding areas in it for babies to hide in. I have some algae but not enough that my shrimp and snails can’t keep under control. If I leave my lights on 24/7 will the guppies, snails, and shrimp grow faster? or will it actually hurt them? Also has anyone heard of “Snail milk”? Its a product I’ve seen on ebay and wonder if it really works or if it is just a scam. Please give me your advice and opinions. Thanks
