I have had a 5 gallon with gravel and 1 betta for years. Later I changed to adding a Java Fern, Otto catfish, snails and Rasboras.
In the next week or so, I am looking forward to setting up a new 30 gallon aquarium starting with the bottom fully covered with CaribSea RhyzoMat, sprinkled with Flora-Spore, next layered with Seachem Flourite Dark substrate, followed by (1) medium Manzanita driftwood, (3) Dragon stones I would arrange. I next plan to put in between 5-6 low tech plants including Corkscrew Val in the background, Java Ferns glued to places on stones and /or driftwood, Anubias Coffeefolia in the midground, Crypt Red WendtiI and possibly Anubias Nana in the foreground and possibly either Java or Taiwan Moss glued to points on stones or driftwood. I would be using a Current LED lamp which I am assuming will provide an adequate amount of light for the plants I am considering. My plan is to just let the ecosystem settle for a couple months before even considering adding fish.
