I have a 7-gallon tank and I have a dwarf crayfish and some shrimp rn, can I get a few thai micro crabs? Will they eat the baby shrimp?

Should be fine, but thai micro crabs are SUPER tiny, once you put them in you'll probably never see them again.

lol, I kinda like that. How do I feed them? or help them feed? since they filter feeders

When I had them I always just hoped that they were finding food on their own, you could also crush up a pellets and sprinkle them in.

Oh ok, yeah I might just crush up a pellet then everyone will get food. How many could I get? Rn its 7 gallon 12 x 12 x 12 planted with 6 (take or give a few) shrimp, 1 dwarf crayfish, and 1 snail.

If the crayfish can catch them, it will eat every crab you got

well yeah, so no?

You can, but I wouldn't because micro crabs are passive and slow and can't run away like shrimp can. Thai crabs are pretty interesting to watch though so maybe set up a second tank?
