I was thinking of restarting my 6 gallon tank,

I was hoping to have a tank that could have a school of neon tetras and possibly another fish as a centre piece of the project (if possible).

I was looking for live plants, possibly low maintenance ones if there is any?

With the filter i was wondering which power would best suite the gallon.

Is drift wood a good idea for the tank? or should i stick with aquarium rocks.

I also needed a list of water treatments that i'd need for the water.

I've had a siamese fighter for a long time and it's a really hardy fish, so i just needed some advice for this new project.

If you're going for plants I'd reccomend a HOB like an aquaclear mini. If you dont go with plants go with the smallest biowheel available. Hardy plants that come to mind include java moss and java fern.

Is the betta staying in the tank and you're looking to add to it ?

Driftwood or rocks would be a personal prefrence. Wood will often lower the ph so is generally not used in tanks for fish that like the higher ph.

Nah no betta, his got a tank prepared for him, he's really agressive so i figured if i left him alone he'd be happy and i'd have more options for stock in the refurbished tank.

Thanks for your help babel
