Hmm more plants to be honest. You want that tank filled with plants. Your “cycling” will take longer also it won’t cycle without actual organisms in there Honestly don’t think you know how to actually cycle a tank properly

A place for them to hide when molting.
Some wood and java moss. My shrimp also love the water sprites I have and use them as 2nd lvl apartments lol
Java Moss, maybe attached to a piece of wood or some rocks.
Everything
Cholla wood, any kind of moss and really any places at all for them to hide. Your starting good tho.
Presumably: shrimp. 😉
more plants
More leaf litter! Crush the leaves up by hand before you add um to break them down a bit
Go to a local river or stream with a bucket and load it with rocks, and hardscape! Give em a good hot wash
Definitely some wood
Snails
Lots of nooks and crannies and hiding places, lots of surfaces for algae / biofilm
Hardscape and lots of plants
Add a couple other plants and a cave or some stones place in a way to create a cave mfor additional hiding spots
A snail or two will help with some biodiversity
Moss definitely!
They really like to hang out on floating roots. Red Root Floaters are the best imo.
