Hello everyone! Im setting up a 2 gallon shrimp and snail farm. Its going to have live plants, snails, and shrimp in there. There is 6 lb of sand and a big rock in the tank. Here are some pics of the tank. Tell me what you think!!

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.
 
Here are some update pics. I just filled it up with water 5 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.
 
Here are some more pics. There is also going to be a DIY CO2 system in there.
