I would think your shrimp would be n danger plus smaller fish maybe.

eels are really cool but they can be escape artist. You have to have a tight fitting screen or cover on top of tank or they will often find their way out. Also they can get sucked into intakes and powerheads. Make sure before buying that eel is eating. They have bad eyesight and often have to be hand fed. I had one that would come to my hand and take food.

I have heard of snowflakes eating small fish and taking bites out of the ones they cannot fit in their mouth.

Eels are very messy, and have a lot of bioload. And they will knock lots of things over.

That being said, a zebra moray is what I would go for. It is a very docile eel. Just make sure you know how to take care of it before getting it.
