I currently have a 10 gallon low tech planted tank with 3 amano shrimp and 5 orange sakura shrimp. Looking to get some blue rili shrimp and tangerine tigers to add to it.
Once I get my blue, I have a friend who will be taking the orange sakuras.
How about keyhole cichlids? They are great community fish and max out at 4-5 inches. No bright colors, but they hace a lovely, old fashioned skeleton key shaped pattern on their sides.
I thought it was the opposite - will grow flatter with low light and mote upright with high light. This would make more sense to me. Unlike a bunch plant that csn grow fast and reach for the light, a sword can't. So to get more light on its leaf surfaces, it spreads out so the plant has more surface area touched by light
I forgot to add my questions about a test kit. I already have a tds pen and plan on getting a pH stick. Would itake more sense to buy my liquid test kits seperately? Ammonia, nitrate, kh/gh, or just buy a master test kit and add to it?

I've done a ton of reading on this forum this week anf it sounds like a lot of people are using it as a remedy for lots of stuff.
