    If you want a "cave", I think coconut husk look more natural instead of bending the wire? You can have all the wire flat to look like patches of open soccier field and see your shrimps move around like soccer team...hahaha

    Having said that, it looks simple enough for shrimps only tank. Hopefully no fish otherwise may exposed your shrimps to danger.

    It is a very small tank GEX (L) kick start with cherry first and a few crs to test out the water, the black plaster mesh behind is a moss wall creating one if really can grow out but I think take very long time.

    Anything i need to take note of, how long do i have to do a water change? is a 16L tank. Any i find some very very tiny white thing crawl at the tank glass and sometime see very fine tiny white worm crawling out i just remove them.

    Those crawling on the glass should be limpets.. They will be there.. U don't want can crush them but just leave it.. Worms den I think rasbora might eat it but so will shrimplets.. So don't put them is best.. Oto are algae eaters, so they won't touch too..

    Nice setup, but the outlet you might want to consider to change to a rainbar, else the current might be too strong for your shrimp.

    Very nice and simple tank, you may want to consider getting a chiller in future if you are intending to keep CRS. Maybe it's already one of your considerations, if it is do pardon me for my suggestion. Cheers.

    If I have to install a rainbar I have to lower alot of water, my tank is too small for a chiller, a fan will do haha.

    See that your water level is almost to the top...., beware your shrimp will Jump out and become hebi. If you want to keep at this level, suggest u cover it.

    For my case, I used those window nettings to cover my tank as can't find a plastic cover for my tank size. Unless i get those acrylic makers and customize my required size.
    But I cover is to prevent dust from going into my tank not for jumping shrimps though.
