Hi sir. Am very sorry, I do not yet have kits to measure the water chemistry of my tank.

I used co2 for the first two weeks. But my co2 system broke so, I think it's been more than a month that I have not used co2. That is why the more demanding plants died and it took so long for the plants to spread and grow.

No sir. I noticed no difference in their behavior with/without co2.

Great Looking Display Tank.
What a assortment of Shrimp & Snails and you collected most of them yourself.
I am jealous, all I can collect locally is Black/Brown Crayfish.
Please keep us updated on any new Shrimp that you collect.
Photos will be greatly appreciated .

Actually, that's not true. You have access to Lake Michigan where a very interesting species of freshwater Mysis now lives. The species is called Hemimysis anomala and has been accidentally introduced from the Caspian sea. They would make perfect companions to shrimp. Here are some links to infos and videos (they are actually much nicer looking than it appears on the videos). The last video portrays the colors of H. anomala best, but you have to fast forward a little bit to get to them. The benthic shrimp in all the videos are the European/Mediterranean freshwater shrimp Atyaephra desmaresti:

So, go out there and get me some H. anomala!

That is a beautiful set up! I am a huge fan of invertebrates, especially shrimp and snails. Question though- If you are going to breed, aren't you worried about hybridization with them all in one tank, or will you have seperate ones for breeding.
