Earlier this year I decided to re-home and give away my main setup (180L) and focus on this little shrimp tank. It was previously used as a quarantine tank (approx 20L) but now is home to about 30 to 40 cherry shrimp (up from 15ish when I started).

Cool tank! Do you do co2 injection? I want some sort of ground cover for my tank, but I don't want to do co2. I have a small starter tank about 4.2gal /16 L

Thanks. It's all very low maintenance with only some Seachem Flourish added every couple weeks.

The substate is compost topped with fine gravel and some clay/peat balls.

The plant covering the bottom is vallisneria but it seems to spread out instead of growing tall, probably too much light but I'm not really sure.

I will!! Just did a full water change and I wanna get my tank settled a bit first. It's embarrassingly new and a bit biotic, haha. I want it to look better first :)
