What are some good freshwater plants for this aquarium?
What type of lighting do you have? Are you going to inject CO2? Do you have any fertilizers? I need the answers to these questions before I can tell you which live plants you can keep. But with low light, no CO2 and no fertilizers, Java Fern and Anubias would be good start plants. There are plenty of dwarf shrimp you could add. Amano Shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp, Tiger Shrimp, Snowball Shrimp, Yellow Shrimp, Blue Pearl Shrimp, the list is endless. Look on the left hand side for a list of shrimp species: http://www.planetinverts.com/ But be careful, because some species can interbreed. Take a look at this chart to see if they’re compatible: http://www.planetinverts.
