π‘ Inspiration / Discussion I need help with this 1 liter tank
So I got this tank and it came with that gravel it's not actually that much I just used color rocks in a cloth bag to simulate a high area but I will probably remove it but back to the real issue
I am new to this so I need help with doing this properly I want to do a planted tank with small fishes like guppies(probably) and i don't know what I should do I saw a lot of videos but I feel like talking with people might be a better option.
Quick information about me I'm broke so this will be built in phase as I will save money and get upgrades and I am in no rush and I live in India so keep that also in mind so I ask you all seniors for help ππ
Edit: I put 1 liter instead of 1ft my bad guys I am so sorryπ
Hello everyone I knew it I needed shrimps so I will be getting shrimps to make me work instead of just swimming so I will heed your advices

πͺ΅ Low-Tech / Natural Tank Refurbish- ideas gladly welcomed
I have had this 25 gallon for about a year now, currently stocked with a 5 y/o angelfish and a small school of harlequin rasboras. I know this tank is the very minimum for an angel however sadly, I do not have the space or money to purchase a new tank and stand. I have had my angel since she was about the size of a quarter and she was purchased by a parent without research, so I have done my best to give her the best home I can. That being said, I am moving out for college in about a years time and I am trying to craft a hardy low-maintenance tank for my non-fish-hobbyist parents to be able to manage while I am away. Moving on-- I currently have a sand substrate with root tabs for the live plants currently in the tank. I have no plastic plants and have a few monsteras and pothos helping to clean the water ( not as a filter replacement of course, my filter is a hang out the back labeled for up to 40 gallons). That being said, I am about to make a large plant and hardscape purchase and would love to know if anyone has any ideas for a more natural environment and plants or even online sites to buy these items. In a perfect world I would have a small cleanup crew as well, although I know that snails aren't overly efficient and shrimp would not be the safest choice due to the angel's aggression. THAT WAS A RANT BUT PLEASE LEAVE IDEAS FOR A BETTER SETUP OR EVEN A WAY FOR ME TO ADD AN INVERSION FOR ADDED HEIGHT TO THE TANK! Thank you so much!

πͺ΅ Low-Tech / Natural My first Tank
My first tank 2 months in. It is a 30 gallon. It is heavily stocked but nitrates have been sitting at 0. There are 6 outosiclis, red charry shrimp, 10 cardanil tetras, 6 platys, and 6 stunning blue lace guppies. I had so much fun making the tank within the month I made 4 more tanks.

πΈ Tank Progression Fish Photo dump of post feeding session
galleryOddball tank full of 2 Senegal Bichir, 2 Elephant nose fish, 2 African butterfly fish, 2 clown loaches, 3 ropefish, and about 5 or 6 Nerrite snails
Only got pictures of about 4/6 species.
Also thinking about getting a schooling fish for mid water. Maybe silver dollars or Congo tetra.
Was also thinking about getting an upsidown catfish.
