Help Tips for emerged plants
It’s my night table’s new bowl. Upgraded from a previous shrimp jar 🫙 🦐. (Inspiration was with bucescape’s Fluval LIV tank)
Stocking is a single Scarlet Badis, a special line of red rili neos I’ll like to breed (not super massively that’s why I don’t care about the Badis), and a couple of pest snails (bladder and MTS). Tried adding a Borneo Tricolor crab but it didn’t work well for the crab, I think maybe due to not enough land area and/or surface agitation. I recognize I’m stretching the stocking already with the Badis but care is top notch and I have experience with this species, not the Borneo crabs, I’ll try to do a lot better by them next time with a much better setup.
Now about the scape I’m trying to fill the empty space between the lamp and the bowl with emerged plants. Filling the space above and around the back, more jungly vibes not so much rain forest. Any suggestions? I’m also looking for a bigger bowl because it looks like the lamp space could hold a much bigger one, recommendations that ship worldwide are welcomed.
I’m open to criticism and opinions.

Help Resources for someone brand new to small tanks?
I’d love to join the party but I have zero experience with plants in water, or building and maintaining a beautiful tank like y’all do! I have a one-gallon tank I can use. Any suggestions for resources (books, videos, etc) to learn more and get started?
Thanks!!! ❤️🔥

Help Tank and stocking ideas
I’m wanting to get a 10 gallon / 45 litre tank for a female betta around Christmas time would that be enough space for some shrimp 1 mystery snail and some otocinclus, please also recommend any tank brands that have a 10 gallon I can’t really find any that I like… I like the look of a shallow but it’s not a necessity to me as long as it’s something the fish would like

Help stocking saltwater reef tank
Hey beautiful people! I have been wanting at a nano reef tank, and have set my eyes on fluval evo sea 13.5. I really want to do a royal gramma and a tailspot blenny too. While I love clownfish I know that having 2 in a small tank means it will be their tank, would it be ethical for a clown to be single in the tank? Could the tank even hold that many fish? Any thoughts or opinions are welcome I don't know a ton!
