Yes when it run out of food or most probably attack. Not advisable to have them.

I think the space ship bugs you are referring to is seed shrimp. There are some

traps for seed shrimps. As for snails, it is advisable to remove it asap... Not

wise to introduce puffer fish into tank full of shrimps.

Add in some assassin snails to get rid of pest snails.
The puffer will eat your shrimplets, so a good idea

Maybe u can add in 2-3 ember tetra? Their mouth quite small compare to neon tetra. They do eat the seed shrimp. no harm trying. Shrimplets a bit hard to fit in.

Will Ember Tetra create unnecessary stress to the shrimps?
