[Tiny air pumps?]

Another vote for the nano pumps, so far they've outlasted the standard box store pumps I own.

[In spite of my fears... I have a Betta on the way for my 10 gallon!]

Bettas can get constipated, I've been feeding some spirulina flakes occasionally along with her regular pellets to make sure she gets her greens.  😉 Our last boy loved tubifex worms, but this girl isn't a fan.  She loves frozen brine shrimp though.

Journey to the microcosms is an awesome channel.

It really is great.  I've learned a lot!

[Melting plants]

Nitrates of zero is a little concerning.  For plant health I try to keep my nitrates 20+ ppm. 

You can lower PH with both wood and leaves like Catappa Leaves.

I found this video to be absolutely fascinating, and I knew some other #NERMS would too!

I have great luck with Nerites cleaning my bigger anubias.

Along with the other great suggestions you've gotten, congo tetras would be amazing too!

Welcome to the forum!

Couldn't have picked better winners!   Congrats guys/ladies, can't wait to see the goods! 

[Would this work?]

Its possible depending on the betta.   Some are more....angry then others 😉

My advice is establish your colony before adding the betta.   The betta may be less likely to see it as his/her territory that way. 

[Your must have for an Aquascape?]

Nana Petite is so versatile.   Being small you can group them how you want them and fit them in cracks and crevasses.

Ace rules!   I always liked this cut from the very strange album, the Elder.

Welcome fellow Texan!  I'm also a gaming/fish nerd.   🙂

[Curious of how you all came up with your usernames!]

I collect retro video games, and the Czarista and I sold games and retro themed crafts at conventions for several years.  The Game Czar where the Games Are was our title (and slogan) so I started using this name to promote the business. 
Covid kinda killed the whole convention circuit, so now I just collect stuff for me and not to sell, but the name stuck.

Here's a pic of me and our setup at one of our conventions.
