They were given to me by a person who has been breeding them in his brackish 1009/1012 for several years, after a long adaptation, they are plants that in nature live in brackish areas for some periods of the year and therefore already accustomed to the salinity

Your tank is truly awesome - the front of the glass is rounded slightly? And how did you get the rear glass that way? DId you make that yourself, or the tank came like that (ie custom built?)

what's your substrate?

Yes The tank has a curved front glass, I bought it already like this, for the background I spread black silicone all over the glass and then I dabbed it to form the frizz effect, as the ground I used aragonite

Hi Solo Malawi. Wondering how those plants and the shrimp fared in the long run. Would you be so kind as to update? Thanks.

Oh that is very nice! This coming autumn I plan a trip to a shore area where I hope I can collect some Ruppia and hopefully set up a thickly planted tank without introducing unwanted algae and so forth. Your shrimp are thriving?
