I think "Fallen Ghost" is going to look incredible once that moss fills in! I can't wait to see the mini Anubias fill in the gaps, creating a really nice contrast against the rugged gray Seiryu stones."

I got this tank from my cousin a while back and I’m trying to change it up a little now it’s all designed by me and I’m trying to add more plant and cover the bottom.

Bella Manito

I was given a 10 gallon tank, with plans to house a pet tarantula. However, I had been watching many fish keeping videos on YouTube, and I felt inspired to create a nano aquascape. I had tried keeping pet fish a few times as a child, with little success, and had lost interest for the past 20 years. For some reason, I felt deeply drawn to try keeping a fish again. So, I studied the care requirements and decided to attempt a simple, freshwater, planted setup - just a betta fish! After I began, I realized I didn’t want to stop. What started as a very minimalistic and simple set up, rapidly developed into a proper community tank. Now, my precious Betta has a flourishing dark water aquarium, consciously rescaped, with a small school of Cory cats, Cherry shrimps, and Nerite snails! I look forward to growing in my knowledge and experience. My future plans include adding more substrate and hard scape elements, lots of new plants, a school of compatible, mid-level fish, and then… enjoying my tiny new world!

Don't think I can reply but let me add some of the previous hardscape ideas. Once in the tank, I just tweaked!

I love the progression photos and I see that the stones didn't change much since day one

How often are you feeding the cpds in a tank that small, worried about overfeeding in 5g

Chili rasboras look tiny against that much moss, nice contrast honestly.

10 gallons with pressurized co2 and chili rasbora, how stable is that ph swing for the shrimp?
