Please help advise what fishes are suitable for comming with shrimps (and their shrimplets) and snails (and their eggs). Offhand can only think of cories and otos. Any mid-level fishes, for e.g.? Thanks.

Only otos. All fish, including corys, will eat your shrimplets. If not now, then in the future. Basically, its an accident waiting to happen.
But if you include enough hiding places, i.e. moss, floting plants, etc. Then you can put them in.

erm. personally i'm have 2 dwarf rasbora in my shrimp tank.. they are really small size and dont go after shrimplets as shrimplets are too big for them to eat..

but i would have to drop powdered fish food now and then

the reason i put them in is because there are a few incidence of mosquito larvae in my tank.. so i put this 2 fishes as a precaution..

and yeap. i have otto too
