I want diversity in my tank, and I doubt there exist what I want. I have newts and will get more ghost shrimp. Will a crab hurt my newts. I heard there is a crab that eats poop, suggestions?
There are also rainbows, guppies, neons, plecos, danios, plants and an infinite amout of plant snails.

No, any aquatic crabs are either brackish or saltwater crabs.
If you do introduce some sort of crab, and it survives, it will likely eat your newts and fish. Crabs are notorious for eating anything they can catch.
If you want to get some inverts, try some cherry red shrimp, or some rock/banana shrimp (they can grow to like 4"), or some FW clams. Or some african dwarf frogs?

yes crabs are not for your tank. diversify with dwarf african frogs, glass catfish, horseface loaches, butterfly fish,gold dojo's, kulie loaches, clown laoches and the like .if you really want fiddlers, they are pretty cool, the fish stores have plexi-mini cages that are perfect for a little fiddler resort that you can have water and land together

i did this and they were good but still freaked out from time to time and would do the funniest little dance.
