Fishing: Is shrimp good bait for freshwater fish?

I hate worms they are too icky.

What type of freshwater fish/shrimp cleans the auqarium, so that is remains clean?

I want to buy a freshwater fish/shrimp that cleans the aquarium, so that it remains clean. But the problem is I don’t know the name of those type of shrimps/fishes. And I want one that won’t eat my guppies.
I also want a type that cost LESS and won’t eat my guppies. Thank you! :)

Where do you buy live brine shrimp, live blood worms or eggs for both of those?

I am looking to feed my tropical freshwater fish, and can’t find anything offline. Do they sell them at petco, petsmart, or are they only at specialty fish stores?

Thanks!

Breeding brine shrimp?

Last year I bought a packet of brine shrimp eggs. (To feed freshwater fish) Now that I have a marine tank (65gallon with 4 percula clowns and small corals)(it’s fully matured so now i’m starting to add corals) Will brine shrimp lay eggs in the tank. Last time I fed my percula clowns brine shrimp was last week and last night after I turned off the light and looked into my tank with a small torch I could see some brine shrimp swimming around.
Will they breed themselves? Or is there anyway to promote breeding? I want them for the perculas and coral.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
