Hey, I just bought “Gulp, New Penny” shrimp lures thinking they would be good for freshwater fishing. Little did I know but they are used for saltwater. Will they work when I go freshwater fishing?

Could this tropical freshwater community work?

4 Female Guppies
5 Platies
4 Ghost Shrimp
8 Neon Tetras
3 Panda Cory Cats
Are there any fish I shouldn’t get? I know this tank will be way overstocked, I am going to moniter my Ammonia very closely and stay on top of the water changes. I have made a shopping cart at an online aquarium supply store and just to let you know how well set up this tank will be, I even bought a refugium for the livebearer fry, of which I plan to give almost all away to a pet store nearby. It will be a planted tank with a piece of driftwood and a big rock. Will this tank work? Please answer!
Pea Puffers are the only freshwater puffers. They also need to eat snails to keep their teeth ground down so they don’t get too long.
Oh, and my mom and I order our fish from liveaquaria.com. great site, we have never had an order we weren’t happy with. And there’s no way they would label a fish incorrectly.
The pleco would eat the leaves off the plants.

What fish can (and how many) can i put in a 10 gallon saltwater tank?
My wife surprised me by setting up a 10 gallon saltwater tank for my birthday while i was away for work. The problem is (and I haven’t told her this because i dont want her to feel bad) is that she got bad advice on setting it up at the aquarium.
1) It is a freshwater tank set up as a saltwater tank.
2)It didnt have enough live rock to start with.
3) it didnt even have a filter to start or a heater!
Anyway, we have the tank healthy now and we have one happy damsel living comfortably in it with some snails, a crab, and a fire shrimp. We want to get rid of the damsel because I heard he will be aggressive to other fish,.
My question is what type and how many fish can we put in this aquarium now? And is it possible to convert to a nano aquarium though it has cycled already? I am thinking maybe we can only put two clown fish in there.
Freshwater fishbowl setup?
At work I am not allowed to have a fish tank, however they do allow Betta’s in a small bowl (often with the lilly). I’m not a huge fan of Bettas and from what I’ve read it’s really not a good situation. I’m working on convincing them to let me set up a vase-like container without a “filter”. Here’s what I was thinking:
Vase-like thing (hopefully around 2 gallons)
Sand substrate
I don’t know the name of the aquatic plant I’m planning on using but It’s a common one thats tall with tons of little green leafs. Also I’m going to use probably 2 java moss balls (I think thats what they are called). The thought being the plants will oxiginate the air somewhat.
Then I was planning on putting in 2ish bioballs then point a small fan on the top to agitate the surface and hopefully create some biological filtration.
Finally I was hoping this kind of system would support 2 dwarf african frogs and say a ghost shrimp to hopefully keep the tank tidy.
Any suggestions, Will it work?
I know or at least it seems to me yes it’s better than just throwing something in a bowl but is it going to be sufficient for them to live well?
Also, I just realized I forgot, do I need to sneak a heater in there or will they be ok without it?
