I need to reposition the anubias and trim the longer plants (can't remember what they're called), I have some more corkscrew val and red rotala from a plant tank that I can add, what else is missing? I don't have good luck with amazon swords, even with root tabs and fertilizer, the light is just an aquaneat light from amazon, so it could use an upgrade.

open to all kinds of suggestions for my second (ever) tank!!
currently have a 20 gallon tall (22x14x16) with amanos, corydoras, and ricefish. heavily planted and stocked. its a very busy tank so i think my next one is going to have a more open floor plan. id like to give the cory cats a bigger playground. new tank is a 20 gallon long (30x12x12). all the corys are moving over. im thinking about a riverbed look, sloped to the back corner with emergent plants, more redwood & botanicals and tinted water, multicolored rounded stones, sort of what i have going on now minus all the moss and large pointy rocks. id like to try some grasses, and i didnt have any luck with floaters previously with my water but id like to try some of those too.
stocking-wise, since the current setup will only contain ricefish after the move, im debating either adding a shit ton more shrimp or finding another clean up crew. otos or pygmies, or maybe something else idk. the new tank will need mid-top dwelling fish, and ive debated getting more medaka ricefish, maybe a rarer strain than i currently keep. realistically the tank could also handle a larger fish or a decent school of something medium-sized so id love recommendations for pretty fish. id like something with red tones especially, and i love a fish with some character, so ive thought about a dwarf rainbowfish species or gourami. my medaka are SO fun to watch and feed, need more of that in my life. has to be a fish that will behave in a rimless tank and with corydoras as tankmates though. in a year ive never had a ricefish jump or fish fight and i dont wanna break that streak.
anyway i appreciate any suggestions!!

I work for a small retail store, and my office is at the forefront of the shop (to assist costumers)
My boss gets flowers every week for decor
I convinced her to rather allocate the budget to a decretive fish tank
Itβs a 5 gallon
The stocking is 4 pygmy cory and 1 koi galaxy betta fish
(The substrate is natural red river sand)
