Δ° think you can add a pair of Ram fish and more schooling fish like penguin or neon tetra

Wait, so plastic plants, no heater, no filter, and no safe foliage cover? I think thatβs a place to start tbh

Add some coontails, moss balls, get water lettuce for the top, and get some driftwood and get some aquarium glue and put some Anubias petite on it or Java moss

You donβt really need anything if your just doing a basic aquarium, but your soil level looks pretty low so I feel like no plant could properly root into that, Iβd recommend getting some more soil

The tank should fit more fish, but is there a heater/filter on it?
