The shrimps won't last very long without filtration. Suggest get a hang-on filter at least for yr tank. On the fan 24 hr. Put some moss to absorb nutrients from the water and also on the FL light for 8 hrs a day for the plant. Change 10% water with overnight water once a week. Don't overfeed as this will dirty the water very fast.
