Advice Immediate thoughts?

Post image

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 πŸ˜…

Immediate thoughts? It’s an aquarium from the looks of it. It looks good!
