Although you won't be able to fit many shrimp in there unless you make it a jungle with some good filtration, I think the shrimp will like hiding under the rock, especially if you put some bushy plants around the little "holes", as well as some java moss on the top.

I am going to be putting lots of live plants. I just set up the tank about 20 min ago.

A fiber glass screen. Then ones they use on the out side of the house where the windows are to keep the bugs out.
