Default my new shrimp tank!

ive always wanted to keep these guys. after cycling tank for about 2 weeks(betta in tank,biohome in HOF) i finally bought 6 cherries.

Tank size : 2 litre ocean free tank with small hang on filter and 13W light.

tempt :29-30c.

plants are : 2 anubias nanas, java moss, flame moss on floor and big coconut cave, spiky moss on small coconut,frogbits.



but im not sure about certain things.

*my shrimps when transfered, seems to be very active. scout around, inspecting every inch of my tank, not like how i observed in the shop, stay one place eat eat eat. are they stressed?

*should i change water 10 percnt each dae?

*is the waterfall created by my filter provide enough oxygen for this little guys?

and lastly.

*should i stop dosing excel/flourish?

Hope they will survive in this setup. really want to see them breeed like crazy ahah. wish me luck.
