Nano Tank Help

[CoronaExtra]

Hello everyone. I have a 2.5 gallon tank that was given to me from a customer at work a while back. It currently houses baby fish I bring home from work but the tank is very lackluster compared to my other bigger tanks.I wish to make this tank a heavily planted nano tank and despite watching vids I am confused on how to go about it. What tiny plants will work best, best nutrient rich substrate (Fluval stratum I often use), certain rocks or driftwood? How to maintain plants in tiny tank? How water changes would be scheduled? Tiny fish and others that can be housed there besides my baby fish. (Only fish comes to mind is Ember tetras and shrimp and snails)

I wouldn't do any fish in that small of a tank. It would make a good shrimp tank though.
You're going to want to look for slow growing plants like anubias nana petite. I'm sure other people know more about micro plants than I do.

Can I see a picture of the tank?

It's a very basic tank compared to my other tanks. It holds some snails, several baby balloon mollies I need, and few baby dalmatian mollies from work.
