Can I put shrimp in my freshwater unheated goldfish tank?

I have a 10 gallon unheated (room temp) tank with 2 snails, two fancy Goldfish and Dojo loach. It is planted and contains a lump of bog wood.
The filter is the type that hangs of the back with filter cartridge, and I have a small airstone.
I’d like to add some Shrimps and may be a clam?
My biggest fear is that the Shrimp will get eaten, or sucked into the filter.
Looking at other questions posted, I guess that ghost shrimps are glorified fish food, so perhaps something a little larger would work?
I would appreciate any advice on the best way to go!

Will shrimp bother my Goldfish?

I saw a shrimp at petco today it was about 2.5 inches and freshwater. I don’t remember what it was called but i wanted to put it in my goldfish tank so it could clean up a bit. dose it have the potential to bother my goldfish or injure them?
