My Mystery Snail was very shy. It didn't come out of it's shell for several hours. Here it is just starting to come out.

I think your Dwarf Gourami is a paradise male. it is a type of Dwarf Gourami. just thought you might be interested in case you didn't already know.

All your fish are beautiful, but i have to say i have a soft spot for your ghost shrimp. it is stunning. i love it when you see something different in a fish tank.

Can those shrimp live in cold water or only tropical?

According to this site...

Ghost shrimp are best kept in an aquarium with a water temperature of 65-82 F / 18-28 C.
