Keeping Shrimp With Crabs?

i know its a pretty silly question but can you keep rc's or bumblebee's with smaller crab (red crabs only get 4 cm) or will they use their unfair advantage of having claws?

the tank im planning on using isnt the most suitable tank (7 gal)
but people keep shrimp in 1 gals with succe's so..

beacuse im planning on making my own background the crabs can get a shelf over water if i have the water lower then usual in that tank.


opinions are welcome. i would really like to keep other animals in there (amphibians since ive aquired a sudden interest of them).

Suspecting crabs will get a bit homicidal if they ever feel peckish.
