Can I keep my orange delight shrimp in freshwater.?

Can I keep my orange delight shrimp in freshwater with about 4 other fish in a I think 10 gallon tank (maybe a 15)? If so what should I feed it?
It’s a 10 gallon tank. I have three medium sized tiger barbs, 1 small loach, and a red clawed crab.

why is my established – 10 gal freshwater tank cloudy?

I have an established 10 gallon tank. I’ve had it about a year.
Lately, like the past week, the water seems to be more cloudy than usual. I did a 3 gal change this am and tonight the nitrate/nitrite and other things are all in range.

The only thing different is that w/i the last month I noticed a sudden appearance of a bunch of baby malaysian trumpet snails.

Could that be why the water is cloudy?

Also, I’ve lost about 3 fish over the last 3 months. I suspected ich or velvet and treated with that teatree oil fish med.

Currently I have two zebras, two platys, a female betta, 4 ghost shrimp and about 500 teeny tiny baby malaysian trumpet snails.

One potted plant. put in a new filter today.

The other new thing is TetraMin Tropical Crisps. Or maybe it is the freeze-dried bloodworms….

any thoughts on what could be causing the cloudy water?

Can guppies live in freshwater without aquarium salt added?

I have a ten gallon tank with a betta, 8 glofish, and 3 shrimp. I want to add some guppies, but I saw that they need aquarium salt added. Can I just put the guppies in without adding the salt or will the salt kill my other fish?
