What is wrong with our fish tank? All the fish we have tried have died.?

I got my daughter a 2 1/2 gallon tank for her bedroom. We filled it up, added the stuff to make the water safe, added a little aquarium salt, and put in a heater and filter.
We started with 2 guppies and a shrimp. First 1 guppy died, then the other. So we got another guppy. It died, then the shrimp died.
We took the heater out so the water could cool down, and after it did we added 3 goldfish. Two died pretty quickly. We then added a snail. Then the 3rd goldfish died. All that is left now is the snail. What could we possibly be doing wrong?

Blood Shrimp. Freshwater?

i was reading about blood shrimp, they are the only good looking shrimp available at my local pet store, and the site i was reading said it was marine safe, or something along the lines of that. to me it sounded like it could be in freshwater, just by the way it was worded. so, can blood shrimp be in freshwater?
