Need Tank set up recommendations

[lampro]

Here’s a 7 gallon planted tank. I am just wondering what fish should I add in there? I want to add more plants in some of the spots on the rocks and maybe dwarf hair grass or carpet plants on the bottom of the tank. Any suggestions?
I am using JCP full spectrum RGB lights and they are great for plants and fish!

7 gallons dosen't give you a lot of options. Maybe do shrimp or a snail tank instead of fish. A single betta of course is always an option. You might be able to do some ember tetras. A Scarlet badis or a pea puffer would work.
I've heard that dwarf chain sword is an easy carpeting plant. It looks similar to hairgrass without as much fuss.

Yea I have a male guppy atm but it would be really nice if I can add pea puffer in the tank. Is it possible to feed them pellets?
Yea I guess I don't need to trim dwarf chain sword right?

Pea puffers don't really mix with other fish, especially ones with long flowing tails. I also think they only really eat frozen/live foods.
Dwarf chain sword stays fairly short as far as I know. I'm looking to get some for my tank.

Dwarf chain sword seems to be a rare plants. I hope I can find them locally. I am adding carpet plants into this tank or my new 10 gallon tank that I am still working on.
I have a small update. I just added Anubis nana on the left rock's gap but the anubias is really long. Is it ok for me to trim out all the longer roots?

I wouldn't trim any roots. Anubias has a habit of attaching itself to the nearest objects, just give it time and the roots with find a place to stick.

Ok I guess I will leave the anubias roots alone...
Another small tank update so I added AR in the middle which I think is good and plentiful and I added helferi on the right but I think I will fill up the entire right side with later on.
I got the AR from tropica and it is my first time getting tropica container plants and they are really healthy I am quite surprised!

I am not sure why I my moss have some hair algae on it So I will out all the moss and now it only has a thin layer of moss on the rock.

I will be adding a pea puffer in the tank since I have so many tiny snail in that tank. I think the puffer will create a perfect ecosystem.

Ok but don't be surprised if the puffer rips your guppys fins to shreds. They aren't exactly community fish.

I will keep an eye on them. I will update on the tank as soon as I get a nice picture of the tank! I just added the puffer and red floaters today and I am very satisfied with it! I got a good deal on Black Friday!
