Sorry should of made myself clear , I do plan on adding some shrimp from my other tank if the ammonia is reading 0 . This will give me an idea if the tank is running OK.
When the tank first started i added some Indian almond leaves and some cholla wood. They seem to have plenty of growth on them .
I've already got some snowflake food. I have a medicine box I make so that my family and friends can go in and feed them once or twice a week.
