20 gal long stocking? setup?

just bought a tank to do some aquascaping but having trouble deciding what to do. send me photos of your guys set up and stockings for some ideas! i am thinking about moving my betta, chum, into it and doing a bigger community tank(he is the most chill fish ever) and all his 8 friends(corys). the corys are going to be moved for sure into the 20 gal since they're a bit over crowded

floaties?

there seems to be a lot of just floating debris in my tank, i did a water change last night and i assumed it would clear up by morning though its just as bad. i am not sure why though? in this photo of my boy chum you can kinda see what i mean though. any thoughts?

walstad?

i think ive spelt that correctly. but i have recently gotten a 1 gallon bowl i was curious to turn into a wasteland shrimp or snail tank, what plants do we recommend? currently have a few water onions and some foxtails in another tank i could transfer over, though idk how i want this bowl to look yet. there is some anibus currently and some duckweed that i have somehow accidentally transferred but i will survive 😗

new sling

Just got my first T a little under a month ago and its a chaco golden knee! i have owned a jumping spider before but T's are new to me! any thoughts on names i could pick out? i am still super undecided, especially since its so itty bitty! i would get a pic but its currently hiding in premolt!

8" cube

just to clarify that there is nothing going into this cube yet, just got my first sling (chaco golden knee) and i wanted to go ahead and get what i thought the forever home would be, unfortunately i didnt know til afterwards that this is to small but i would like to know what species i could put in there permanently! i will still use it for my golden knee until it outgrows it, and ive got a good 10 gallon for it as well.
i am aware that the mesh isnt safe so i will be replacing it but i dont know for sure what to replace it with. would a lace fabric work?

someone(not naming names) has gotten placed into the box of shame since she wont stop eating the other tank inhabitants and is extremely fat. will fast her for a day and see how she does. i do believe she also has some eggs but im not 100% on that front

currently rescued a betta, did a salt bath with some aquarium salt as i do not have epsom salt on hand. he is extremely thin and refusing food(ive tried frozen bloodworms and bug bites) he either stays laying at the bottom or sits horizontally in the water. i picked him up because i wanted to try to help, if anything give him a comfortable final last days if i cannot help him. any advice would be appreciated as i do think its a swim bladder disease but im not 100% sure. i do apologize for the low quality photos, i do not want to stress him more than necessary with the lights, he is in a half filled 10 gallon, and i couldnt lower it anymore than that so ive also placed him in a breeder box just to make it as shallow as i possibly can for him. this is just a tank i've had running with nothing but some snails, in it(pest snails im not worried about) and so i figured if he does make it i can redo it for him.

so i attempted to do a blackworm culture in with my girl, it did not occur to me that she would eat every single one of them all at once... i havent fed her anything else for a few days but she is extremely fat and im so worried😭😭 is there anything i can do?

do we think his find will even out?? i think he is so ugly❤️❤️(with love)

i feel so maternal towards my son.

any name suggestions? sorry the quality is so bad🥺🥺🥺 i have him in a blackwater tank and the tannins are so dark i cannot see him very well<|3

since he is brand new i wouldnt want to stress him out to much just so i can view him, but because he isnt totally invisible i am going to leave it for now until he is more comfortable.
