great looking tank you go there!
the plants look like they are truly thriving in your care!
hope the shrimp breed for you well and it sounds like you got it pretty much under wraps!

the different plant species provide an excellent variation in texture as far as color, size and shape and the hard scape is very well laid out. Your moss has attached and thrives better than any of my attempts!

your scape looks excellent, only something i can strive for someday!

Thanks for sharing!
