Thats why i recommended those shrimp, they should take care of any potential algae problem as long as its not too bad...

Oh I see !! Shrimp take care of the algae !! Never knew lol! But if I can't find red crystals can ghost shrimp work how many? An I really want something colorful are there any micro fish that can work? If I can find some red crystals that would be awesome!!! I was thinking of ordering online but it's winter in Boston and I don't think the Shrimp will survive 😕

^ looks like your common pest snail... I would not put it in, coz if it starts to lay eggs, you'll never see the end of it...

Water 100% clear going to test it later if cycled will get fish this weekend quick question since Anubias and Java Fern are above the substrate and get nutrients from water column do I have to clean up fish poop or does it give nutrients?

Sadly, We all still have to clean out fish poop...

I am leaving the poop in but I have a dirt tank with gravel top. As for fish, give the plants some time to get in and established, they will need some nitrates, so if you have an established tank, pour a few cups worth in the plant tank.

Snail like that don't put in. If you found one, there are more. I Had them in a 29g and 4 years later I am still squishing them.
