I think I am going to go with 5-6 Otto's, some nerite and trumpet snails and some blue pearl shrimp. I think it wil be a nice lil' habitat.

Well I got back from Vegas to find a very stained tank! The plants seem to be doing ok. The light was low due to the staining and my ludwigia grew to the top albeit a thin growth. I decided to do a major (80%) WC an rescape a bit. I tried to get rid of dead growth....

So I 'rescued' a single Otto at PetsSmart. If all goes well I'll get 5 more on Thursday when they get their shipment. Hopefully before they get on their tanks.
What are your thoughts on the results? Ok for what I got going? Shrimp safe?
Thanks!
