Very nice, Caleb! Be careful with the feeding, you don't want to overfeed them.

Very nice. I think a solid coloured background would really make it pop. Black may be too black because of the gravel, but maybe blue?

Well im changing the substrate to white sand sometime. Can i use playsand or is pool filter sand better? I know about the mixing cause of the gasses.
Thanks

Hey I personally like pool filter sand better. It's much easier to get ready for your tank because of it's larger grain and I think the brighter white looks better than the brown look of play sand.
Good luck

I had a buddy that decided he wanted a sand substrate in a tank. I recommended pool sand, but he bought play sand. It took forever to get it to settle. It looked like a swamp.

I prefer pool filter sand or "very fine gravel". Play sand is okay but every movement stirs it up and I've ruined one filter impeller by sand getting sucked in. The larger grained stuff is much easier to work with and the fish are able to dig and bury in it just fine.
