3 Gallon Shrimp Tank

UPDATE: I got the plants from eBay, and I replaced the small java fern with a bigger one from a tank I'm taking down. I also took a marimo ball from another tank to put in this one (since I've heard how shrimp love them).
RIght now the arrangment is kind of haphazard. I'll probably be rearranging plants all day until I'm satisfied with them, but the plants all look VERY healthy!
So the plants I currently have are:
Java fern
Java moss
Water Wisteria
Marimo moss ball
Bacopa
Crypts
Hornwort
Ludwigia repens

I've been eyeing the small cube tanks for ages, I love the look of them, and I finally bought one! I'm setting it up for a small colony of cherry shrimp.
The java fern is a piece from a bigger plant in one of my other tanks (the roots are wrapped around a piece of driftwood in the back, it's not planted). I bought the wisteria today, and I'm going to trim the bare bottom parts of the stems later, but I'm hoping for it grow out enough to completely hide the filter (I don't like the look of sponge filters). I also ordered a pack of plants on eBay today (java moss, bacopa, ludwigia repens, hornwort, and a crypt). Will update when I get them and plant them!

I'm dosing Flourish, Iron, and I just ordered Potassium the other day (the plants in my other tanks are showing signs of a deficiency in that). I'll also be ordering root tabs soon for the root feeding plants.

Updated in the first post!
Thank you everyone, all I have left to do now (besides rearrange plants all day) is order shrimp!
