I haven’t had a betta in many years and want to double check with you guys to see what you all think.
There’s a thick layer of floating plants on top. I have an anubius stuck to the side so he/she has a place to rest. It’s a well established 10gal with cherry shrimps (this isn’t my main shrimp tank so idc if my betta gets the occasional snack). Parameters stay at 0,0,10ish. 7.6 ph. Temp is high 70’s, but can be adjusted if needed. The tank is a bit cluttered with plants and such (less swimming room) so I’m thinking about getting a male. I have a low flow filter and a small sponge filter running.
So how are we looking? Should I add anything? Take anything away? Any advice or corrections?

Pretty tank!! Off the bat, when it comes to bettas I’d say ensure you have room at the surface for them to breathe , I can’t see but make sure it’s not 100% covered by floating plants as they need to surface. And I’d be concerned about the box in the corner holding the plants. My concern is your betta getting stuck in the square pieces and dying. It happens way way way too often. They love to nudge themselves into leaves & tiny nooks. Anything with holes about the size of their body id think about removing or replacing.
