I like the idea of the 'perfect' shrimp level too, even if I'd never achieve it. I would classify it as anything better than 'High' :) I'd be happy to take some pics of the shrimp in my tanks to help illustrate the levels, but as I've discovered this evening taking pictures of specific shrimp is HARD! They move too fast dammit. I've got a few previous photos online, have a look and if any of them would be useful let me know and I'll dig out the originals: https://www.flickr.com/photos/10013620@N05/sets/72157656753508963

I have Glosso and AR mini out side in a small tank, unfiltered, unheated, natural light, sitting in Fluval Shrimp Stratum, it's going well, CO2 though will obviously help it grow faster, but it isn't needed though, give the AR mini a crack for sure, top plant.

Ive had hc go well with flourish and co2, had a 2ft covered

Thanks for the suggestions, from what I've read 'Alternanthera reineckii', 'Hemianthus Callitrichoides', 'Glossostigma elatinoides' requires CO2, they are great looking plants but for my first tank I want to keep it simple, stupid :). I've added Rotala to the list and I will add also 'Ludwigia arcuata'. I hope I will find all of them in my country. Here I found an article about this: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/general-aquarium-plants-discussions/70511-eleocharis-belem-vs-eleocharis-japan-japanese.html seems like the difference is that Parvula leaves curl down, Belem stays erect.
