I would recommend h. formosas (least killis) as a hard micro fish species which wont bother the shrimps. 
they are a fascinating livebearer sp!
if you are intent on keeping shrimp, i would recommend neos. ie. red cherry shrimps, yellows, rilis etc. try not to mix these as when thwy interbreed, tend to produce offspring with wild coloration. amano shrimps are also a personal favorite of mine.
with snails I recommend nerites (especially the horned variety)
do invest in some calcium clay. add a pinch to every water change to help shrimp with moults and snails with their shells
