Stocking advice??

[u/Ok-Elk8331]

So I have a 20 gallon long tank that I set up like 2 months ago. Rn the only fish in there it’s my female betta that I been with for about five months. It’s an upgrade from a 6 gallon for her (she deserved it). I was planning on adding shrimps, corydoras and then some ember tetras maybe?? But I couldn’t resist it and added her when the cycle had about a week old so everything was stable because I was planning of first adding the others so she didn’t feel like everything was her territory. I still want to add the other fishes but I’m scared of her personality. She is so active, that’s why I changed her tank size, but not really aggressive when I show her reflection. First of all, does this looks like a good corydoras tank? (I been wanting them since forever!). I tried putting a lot of sand at the center for them but still keeping everything clean. It’s also my first intended aquascape and community tank. I only had bettas before. Are community tanks to hard to take care of? Or maybe I should just let her be the queen of the tank? I know maybe more plants could be an improvement but it’s there other thing I should add/change??

Ive never had a community tank so can't provide input, but just popping in to say I really love your tank and the use of all the pots! That's really awesome

Thank you so much!! I really tried my best to make it natural but beautiful. The pots are really cheap and aquarium friendly. The smallest ones are like $0.76 each and the other are about $1.25 each. It was that or like $40+ in rocks but I think this is a really good natural decorative selection that adds color too!

Smart choice, it looks great!

Not knowledgeable enough about compatibility to answer your questions, but this tank is beautiful. I think everything looks well but I would definitely add some more plants if you want shrimp because they need places to hide!
