I have moderately planted 7g minibow, and I have a school of 6 pygmies in there. They're adorable! I also have a beautiful red crowntail betta and two ottos. I'm pretty much maxed out on stocking. I will consider shrimp when eveything else (plants) get acclimated.
Btw, here are the plants:
Anubias nana
Anubia afzelia
Pygmy Chain Sword or Dwarf Sag, I can't tell.
Java Fern
Java Moss
Cryptocoryne undulata
