5 gallon tank design

I have a 5 gallon tank that I need help designing. For this one, I already have an idea of what I want, I just don't know what to use..
Planned stock
1x Male betta (Red Crown tail) -Sausage
5x Ghost shrimp
?x Cherry shrimp
I want some kind of skull in the middle of the tank and I want it to kind of look like a dense jungle
I'm still open for ideas, so don't be stuck on mine
I will also be using either white play sand or black sand.

Do you want live plants or plastic ones (the latter can sometimes damage your betta's fins)? if you have a betta and shrimp I'd advise getting the little ones somewhere to hide which would mean something like Java moss. I'd also recommend getting only a couple of ghost shrimp first to ensure that your fighting fish doesn't just eat them.

Real plants. I was thinking some Dwarf hair grass? I want at least 3 types of plant in there to make it look 'jungly'
I'm starting with 5 because it takes me 30 mins. to get to my 'LFS' and I need to be sure that I get at least 3 to test him with. That's why they are ghosts

What about this? Two Anubis plants, PFS, anarchis or another plant of your choice, driftwood for the center piece.

You could try some amazon swords, they look quite 'jungly' and maybe some vallisneria towards the back? Just a suggestion.
