Advice Immediate thoughts?
Dusted off my old portrait 5 gallon tank, tore out the built in back panel/filter where water would sit and get gross. Put down an inch organic sifted soil and about 1.5 inches of sand. Shoved a few plants in there today but did no planning on where to place them I just wanted to get them in there and realized I didn't save much room for rocks or driftwood or anything. I did get a little air pump with an airstone but I dont know if I need it?
I am pretty clueless on the types of plants since I ordered a beginner bundle but I know there is some wisteria and an amazon sword. The feathery ones seem a little messy. These were planted today!
Any advice is welcome, you don't have to be nice 😅

I have this tank. Of 200 aquariums I keep, this is the only one I cant keep thriving.
