I wanted to try keeping shrimps for first time so I bought a 15G Flex. This will be a journal on my success (or failure), will be interesting so see how this turns out.

Trimmed background
Replaced Hairgrass with Athernanthera Reinekki - Mini

I figured aquarium wall is wasted real estate, better to grow plants than to grow algae.
Turned out pretty nice, doesnt shade the plants below. Depending on how these Buces so, I may fill the wall up more.
