I have a 10 gal aquarium we got my son years ago, he never maintained it and so we abandoned the attempt to teach him responsibility with fish. I stored it up in the attic for a few years, I was needing to make room in the attic and figured the aquarium could go to my office and be something to relax me when stressed.
I am wanting to do all live plants, real rock and wood, just make a super nice Freshwater aquarium. I'd really like to do saltwater, but from research 10 gal isn't a good idea.
I have on hand 10 gal tank, hood, filter (Aqua Tech 5-15), and heater.
I am looking at getting most of my stuff from Amazon as the local places are crazy expensive.
Here is what i would like to get:

Looking at getting Dwarf Corydoras (6), Cardnial Tetras (3), and Sparkling Gourami (3) to stock the tank.
Any suggestions from experienced persons would be very helpful, as I am a novice.
A picture I found of my goal (it is a 20gal tank tho).

Except I think I am going to do a black back ground as the wall behind where the tank sits is white cement block wall.
