Hiii!
This is my 20 gal tank with like 10-15 Pygmy Corydoras, 1 sweet female betta and shrimp.
I’ve had my Pygmy’s for months, but they’re barely out.
I see maybe 3 at a time, while the rest are all hiding somewhere.
They seem to be healthy, but they barely swim around and only come out a few at a time when I drop some food in the tank.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it my tank?
The betta literally ignores them, parameters are stable and fine.

(Ignore the fact I haven’t topped off my aquarium
Properly)

!!ALL FISH SHOWN IN THIS AQUARIUM ARE MOVED TO OTHER TANKS, ITLL BE A PEAPUFFER ONLY TANK!!
Alrighty, hi guys!
This is my 20 gallon I eventually want to use for a group of 6 peapuffers :) (or do yall advice more?)
It’s obviously missing a shit ton of plants, that I’m gonna get asap!
I made this very very very beautiful (cough cough) rough sketch in the second picture, which is just basically me showing where I want to add more plants and rocks.
Since this is my first time owning peapuffers I wanted to ask experienced ppl what I should add or change about my tank before getting them :)
I’m already educated about their temperament and diet, just this part of getting the tank right and I’m ready!

I also just did a big water change and took out quite some half dead plants before taking this picture, which is why this tank is so empty and the water looks kinda off :)
I’m open to every bit of advice, opinions or suggestions, but please be kind about it instead of just shitting on me for trying to get this right!!
