20gal community fish tank (with exoskeleton)

Hello viewers. Here is my 20gal fish tank. I know, it's not that exiting but i'm kind of proud of it. In the beginning you can see the exoskeleton of the vamp shrimp. Here is a list of the creatures and their ratings(5 is hardy, bold, and durable. 1 is meek, easily sickens, and hides constantly)

5 Harliquin rasboras(5/5)(Very peaceful)
2 Glass catfish(4/5)(Timid fish, but hardy and easy to take care of. Very cool to watch it swimming)
1 Kuhli (or coolie) loach(5/5)(doesn't do much! Still very nice and loves the java fern)
1 Stub nosed pleco(5/5)(Doesn't get as big other plecos. Isn't doing his job, tho)
1 Amano shrimp(5/5)(very easy to take care of, cleans up the tank. Will kill ghost shrimps though.)
1 Vampire shrimp(2/5)(hardy and easy to take care of if you have a well established aquarium, but you won't see much of him. Very reclusive, but lowers nitrates a bit when he feeds. Clams are better)

I am thinking of upgrading to a 75 or 55gal, it's probably going to be some kind of bichir or cichlid tank.

p.s sorry about the noise. Someone was putting away dishes

Nice tank! How do you keep it that clean?

Well, it's kind of deceptive, but I do have a bit of algae growth.

How I keep it clean? Well a helpful tip is getting a filter too large for your aquarium. My aquarium is a 20 gallon, but my filter is meant for a 30 or 35 gallon tank. Also I do regular waterchanges.

This could be desputably but I have a algae shrimp that does an incredibly job of cleaning up the tank.

Hope this helped you!

@Arvenohx

i have a 20 gallon tank with a 60 to 70 gallon filter hahaha and I do monthly water changes and use a sponge to scrub the inside clean. I'll post a new video hopefully soon the one i have now is old video.
