Nice plants, what is the grassy one? They will likely grow faster if you stop the airstone (drives off CO2) .

Ah cool, I'm sure he will have plenty of oxygen without it - he's the only fish in the tank . But I'm also sure the plants will be fine with it, they will just grow slower.
Watch out for the U.graminifolia, I've seen a different Utricularia species eat baby shrimp in my tank. Probably not a big deal, since shrimp produce loads of babies anyway, and not many get caught, but if the plant grows well and spreads, it may have a noticeable impact in a 15L tank.
Depends on how big the traps are on your species, but I've read about some fairly gruesome - very interesting - but still gruesome deaths of things like tadpoles, fish fry and insect larvae after being caught by Utricularia spp. traps that were too small to engulf the whole animal.
Just keep watching the plants traps closely .
Are you sure they are nerite snails though? Because nerite snails aren't meant to be able to breed in freshwater. They lay hard white eggs which hatch into larvae, which then go down river into brackish lagoons or the sea to develop.
You might find the survival of shrimplets quite low with the galaxies although with that bushy plant at the back im sure a good number will still make it
