What should i do with this tank?

Had this 4.5 gallon tank running about 2 years now i think, never really gravel vaccumed or anything. Its kind of overgrown in the grass plant, what should i do with the tank? It loses about 1.5 liters a week in evaporation, and i think it has a few cherry shrimp left in there

Can you give the parameters? (ammonia, etc.) That will help us determine if the tank is cycled, and appropriate stocking choices.
The choices are somewhat limited due to the tank size, but I think if the parameters are good, you could either add more shrimp/snails or a single betta fish (if you have a heater).
That’s a stunning tank, by the way; I wish I could get aquatic plants to grow like that for me…

Havent tested it in a while but its definitely cycled. I dont even really plan on stocking it, for shrimp the water level fluctuates constantly and for a betta the water current is too fast. Plus id have to worry about shrimp having enough to eat as i dont really want to worry about putting food in there. Mainly just came here to get thoughts on changing anything around or any maintenance youd do after this long

I think you have done a great job with the tank. It looks to be more or less a self sustaining tank.

My suggestion is to thin it out a bit. Add a good sized chunk of Spiderwood and a few small rocks.

Finally, add a group of nano fish then I think you'll be good to go.
