Lol! usually fish eat other dead things that are in the tank (when my guppieshad ICH they would eat each other when they were half alive)

Cories will. Not sure about the tetras, but they likely would enjoy it, too.

Most fish are more than willing to eat both veggie and meat. They are also opportunistic feeders...so if it's there, they'll eat it, even if it's one of their own kind. That being said, if something unfortunate happens and you lose a fishy or an invert, take the dead out and don't let it foul your water (you'll have an ammonia spike that could be deadly to your other fishies). But if you are missing one and can't seem to find it anywhere in the tank, chances are it died and became a food source for others.

I agree that fish should be pulled out of a tank, but I generally leave shrimp to be eaten by their tankmates. They're small enough that they don't present much of a danger to the tank, they're tasty enough that they won't likely stay there long, and they're good for fish.

the cories will eat it and maybe the tetras
