I'm going to start my first try at a tank with live plants beyond moss balls and duckweed. Its a 6ga Fluval Edge; any recommendations on species?

I am doing a shrimp tank with mine. I have two Chili Rasboras (soon to be 6) and an Orange Shrimp soon to be 5. A couple little baby guppies are in there until I pick up more Chilis.
Added some orange red Rams Horns a blue Rams Horn and a Burgundy striped Mystery snail. Got my cool snails today!
1 big bunch of Java moss, two small Aponogetons and a few other plants I haven't decided yet. Just got a plant pack today as a matter of fact. Have to figure out what can go where.

Aquatopia said:My two shrimp tanks are the little 6ga Fluval Edge tanks so I go with Pigmy Cory and Endlers to keep the bioload down and no mouths big enough to eat the younger shrimp.
I do have a new Edge tank with the LEDs but it has a Nerita Zebra Snail, couple of Betas (who will eat shrimp), 3 Pigmy Cory, 3 Gold Tetras, 3 Cardinal Tetras, 2 White Clouds, 3 Bumble Bee Gobies and a Peacock Grudeon. I know that's a lot of fish for such a small tank but diligent water changes work.
I was hoping Hagen sold the light fixture as a conversion kit but they only sell a retrofitted LED bulb (Aquatic - Products)
I will say.. Guppies have a large bio load, and most people would say pygmys aren't supposed to be in anything smaller than a 10g :/ lol
