So i went and got 3 amano shrimp, and 3 rudolf shrimp. From what i hear they probably won't really breed in the aquarium too readily but w/e maybe i will see some babies, i wouldn't mind getting some ghost shrimp but my lfs can't get any right now so i will have to wait. I also added 3 male and 3 female guppies to just for something to see around the top.
 
sorry these are the best pics i can get a couple shots of the shrimp some u can't really see to well, and then a full tank. I have some java fern on the driftwood held on by elastics right now. It is actually hard to get a pic of them because theyare always swimming around the tank.

Is it normal for the amano to swim around like they are doing for me. It is almost nonstop with one fo them anyway he just doesn't want to settle down. I do have a pretty strong current running thru my powerhead but the red nosed shrimp seem alot more calm
 
When first acclimating to a new aquarium it is common for shrimp to swim around erratically!

Also, both shrimp that you have need saltwater for their young to grow so you will not see any babies.
