Any ideas for a 2.5 gallon aquascape? - Aquascaping

I have a random 2.5 gallon tank in my closet and I want to make a small aquascape for my desk. Any thoughts on cool fish or plants to put in, or any scapes you have seen in the past?

A moss scape would be neat and size-appropriate. Also, smalled leaved plants like Rotala and Ludwigia arcuata or L. brevipes, Anubias 'petite' , smaller crypts...

for fauna, I would suggest shrimp. I thought fish would be cool but they dont even school in my 8 gallon. I only like it when fish school. lol

I was thinking about getting a pair of killies, would that work? What kind are good for a 2.5?

All of the killies I have had are jumpers, so you'll need to get a proper lid to keep them in the water. they are noted to be suicidal in my aquariums at least...

I really like the 2.5 gallon layout, it gives enough room for a small aquascape and it turns out beautiful after a few months of growing. just be sure to get plants that will make the scape nano not out and over the top.

Some glass cats would be kind of cool, but not sure about size appropriateness

you could probably fit 5 or so boraras briggitae or similar along with some cherry shrimp. That would make a nice nano
