hi all ,
What type of plants are suitable for shrimp tanks other than najas which mustafa have mention?
Is there any other type of plants which absorbs elements that harms the shrimps?

All plants absorb nitrogen wastes. Pick whatever you like.

True but the faster growing ones such as Water sprite and Amazon frog bit are "better" at it.

Hornwort is also good and can be left floating or plant it.

Try a sagittarius species; shrimp seem to love sitting on its leaves. They generally grow pretty quickly, too, removing waste. And they are cheap and hardy!

Riccia is great for the little guys and grows really fast. You need to protect it from high flows and intakes though. With good light it grows explosively and you end up throwing it out or selling it.
