Hi all i was wondering what plants would be safe for my supershrimp tank and i mean leafy plants not like algae or moss please thank all who answer

It really depends on the size of your tank. You should do some homework to find out about brackish plants and their growth rate/height BEFORE deciding what to get.
Some things to get you started:
Samolus valerandi ihas a very high tolerance of brackish water, up to 30 ppt, around SG 1.020, but it is difficult to grow. It needs a rich substrate and strong lighting.

Some people plant Mangroves, but they tend to grow a bit much.

Other than that, All I can recommend is turtle grass (sea grass)

Also plants that wont like kill the shrimp if they eat it or whatever

As I don't foresee the plants as being a danger to the shrimp. They are so small, they really only eat algae that grows in their tanks.

I'd be careful about using Samolus valerandi...although literature says that it has a high tolerance for salt, that applies to plants growing on land, possibly submerged with the tides. However, I don't know of anyone growing this plant in high salt conditions completely submerged. Even growing submersed in freshwater seems to be difficult to impossible in the long run from what I am reading. If anyone wants to experiment with this plant, please share your experiences here (and don't experiment with it in your shrimp tank...goes without saying I would think.).

Thanks I'm using sea grass
