stocking question
I was thinking about trying a walstad 10 gallon with a sponge filter and heater but I'm not sure if my stocking plan has too high of a bioload. Is this too much:

1 Mystery snail

Question about Betta fish and enamel
I realise this sounds like a really stupid question, but my mother's bought a betta recently, and pretty into making enamel artworks (I think it's called Vitreous enamel, if that helps at all), and she's put in the tank with our fish. I have zero experience with fish, and neither does she, so yeah, any advice is appreciated.
My first (adult) tank
I was trying to go natural, I didn't really have a plan just stuck in what I thought looked nice. Not as nice as most of yours but I love it. I was having a hard time getting a good picture though since there is light coming in from the windows.
Low tech and perfectly balanced. I have 10 rummies, a handful of male guppies that will be moved to my new tank when I set it up, an unknown number of pygmy cories, and a juvenile bristle-nose pleco.
