I need clean crab shell for a project. If I boiled, then froze, and fed (very little by little) crab parts to my shrimp, would that be okay?

I am starting in the hobby. Does it matter what size tank you have. I have a 36 bow front is that to large of a tank to start with?

What are ideal water parameters for red cherry shrimp and how much nitrate is dangerous for them
I fear heās planning how to evolve
I have a fluval flex 32.5 and it has been up for over 2 months now. I have around 20 some cherry shrimp and 2 nerite snail currently. I normally do like a 2.5 gallon water change. today I did a 5 gallon and did bit of a deeper cleaning, cleaning the aio box. I checked back on the tank a couple hours later and now majority are near the surface on floating plants but lethargic. the only thing I did different was a bit larger of a water change. I have 2 airstones and a spray bar for surface agitation. tested my water and at its normal levels. did I do to much?
Looking for fish to put with blue dream shrimp I'm getting in a few days. Almost every fish is said to eat baby shrimp, or need a bigger tank size. Any suggestions, or should I just avoid having fish in it?
Theyāre quick, skittish little buggers compared to my neos
I've been cycling this 3 gallon nano tank for a little over 3 weeks. I used a whole bottle of Dr. Tim's One and Only and dosed ammonia a few times in the beginning.
I'm getting back into the hobby after 20 years, and I'm a bit confused.
My water readings are as follows: PH - 7.0 Nitrate - 40 Nitrite - 7 Ammonia - 0.5
Should I wait a few weeks more to see how it progresses, or do you think a partial water change would help? Would a water change destroy my cycle?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Due to the coloring of this SUNKIST Orange, I am guessing female but I wanted to be sure.
