Sorry for being slightly off topic...

What camera do you use convict360 ? All of your pictures are really clear and colors are amazing.

Just my phone camera off my Nexus 6

I try and switch the lights off in the room to help out, reduce glare etc

I use my phone too, also closing the blinds and turning off other lights helps a lot

Here's what I have so far. I'll add more plants as soon as I can, and fish once it's cycled, if not already.

I would say the tank isn't stocked, but I had a couple visitors...

Nice start, hate planaria; a lot of people believe they kill shrimp also

Not yet. Going to try and redo the planting on the, take out the swords and mosses and all then add the 2 anubias plants from the 15. Going to see if I can get bolbitis or crinum at the LFS when i get a QT tank later

Regarding the Scarlet Badis Badis, they can be a bit nippy in a tank, so while they may not eat adults, they could potentially stress them out...

I've always recommened people get a stable shrimp population going first, then add fish later if you really want to go that route...

Also, with so many shrimp species now, i would also look into whats available, such as Rilli, King Kong, Pinto, Orange and yellow shrimp, blue shrimp etc...

Updates-

I just visited Southern Aquatics, a newish fish store, and picked up a few things. They had a selction so good, I never saw, or heard of 1/4 of the fish in the store. The staff was also amazing, with the co owner giving me a plant (forgot the name) for free for being a first time costumer. I picked up 2 bunches of (brazilian?) sword, and 1 bunch of cryptocoryne. I also snagged a couple Scarlet Badis, since they were the only store that had Scarlets in the area.
