If you are going down the shrimp route then I can highly recommend getting at least a couple of moss balls as the shrimps love them and they help with the oxygen levels in your tank.

I managed to take a couple of pictures of my current tanks but with them being curved I can't seem to get a clear picture that isn't obscured by the flash  The large moss ball in the second picture is about six inches across but it has just shed 2 small "babies" which you can just about make out at the bottom left of the glass. These balls aren't like normal algae and don't break up or coat the glass. |
Definitely getting more plants but my gravel is too shallow to plant the ones I have properly so going to drain the tank and start again with probably double the gravel depth (Maybe less but if I buy that much I can always keep some in a bag spare).
I'm going to start with some cherry shrimp and maybe a few small fish. I know you can't see them but I actually have about 4 moss balls in the tank all tiny though. I've just looked at the photo and you can see one of them on the top of the broken brick on the left. Think I will get some more of those and also on the lookout for Java Moss because cherry shrimp graze on that apparently.
I really like your setups, Not so intrusive they take up the room but still quite big and beautiful to look at
