Looks nice. I'm not how the amano shrimp will do in there, as they would be a potential food source.
It's a crayfish! It's a snail! It's a... ah who cares?
Nom nom nom!...

Tank: 4 liter custom-shaped sphere
Contents: 1 Brainfish
Ph: 7.4
Ammonia, nitrites, nitrates: ?
Problem: Cloudy/muddy water
Can you help me?

I actually didn't know mudskippers were brackish until I looked at this thread and looked it up. I learn new things all the time here. :)
