I had to find some bioballs with indents rather than holes. Then put moss over the ball and tied it with fishing line. Since the bioball has indents, the fishing line can be hidden easily. Once the moss grows out, the fishing line is invisible. Due to the fact that I have brown algae everywhere, the fishing line is noticable now as the algae is covered the line, making it visible.

CO2 out for a day and algae bloom. fantastic.
My olive nerite and 2 otos can't keep up. I might have to add a zebra nerite as they're bigger so they move faster and have larger mouths.

I trimmed my fissidens and added some amazon frogbit that grew really rapidly.

HC is also finally starting to grow. The Ludwigia Cuba is also starting to look like the plant; it use to have large, flat, broad leaves.

The balls of moss have been growing as well. I added a ball of Riccia, but it isn't growing too well since the frogbit is covering it.

Ya know, I think the reason why your having problems with this tank is the fact that you have bettas in with shrimp. Betta's, IME LOVE LOVE LOVE shrimp.
