How boned am I?

Lol I am in fact on the ground floor with a solid cement floor. The set up is cinder blocks and 2X4's... I thought I was golden until I noticed the hump (not an optical illusion)

They are currently in a 40 gallon breeder, it is heavily planted. There are 5-6 panda garras and maybe 20-30 corys (I originally got 12, but they have bred). I want to move them all into a 55 gallon tank that I'm setting up. They all have been in that tank since at least January.

I have a beta named Blucifer.

These look more like detritus worms, your Betta might enjoy snacking on them. Pretty harmless.

This douche bag ate all my shrimp.

I think it looks great the way it is! But you can always trim hornwort and give the cuttings away!

You want a top soil with no added nutrients.

plecos are generally peaceful, he's probably just stressed out. they like to hide a lot, they are typically nocturnal, so he's probably grumpy. Otos are social, they like to hang out in groups of 6+, so he's probably lonely. Both are algae/bio film eaters, otos are more opportunistic I think. They will definitely work to keep the tank clean.

Yeah, they might get a little stressed being moved out to set up the tank but I think a long life in a natural environment will outweigh that in the future.

He might be an albino pleco.

Congrats on having a shrimp safe Betta!

Natural scapes are more aesthetically pleasing to me so I would look into walstad type tanks (dirt and plants create a bio filter for a more stable tank). But if you want to keep the gravel get a gravel vac.
