I have shrimps in my tank as well crabs and a snail.
So what kind of fertilizer should I use for my plants now that I should
be getting soon a 110W system to my 33Gal?

I don't want to hurt the fish in any way because of the plants.
They can regrow, while fish only live once.

You can use any commercial fert available at your LFS or Mega pet center.
If you want to "roll your own" you will need the right concentration of
Nitrogen Phosphorus and Potassium. Each tank is a little different based on
water conditions, lighting, substrate, filterization, co2 etc. The goal is
to get just enough nutrients in the water column and/or in the substrate to
sustain and promote growth while not getting too much in the water column
and/or substrate to promote algae growth.
