I am starting up an 8 gallon aquarium to keep Bettas in

This is my recently purchased 8 gallon aquarium that I bought used but it does not have any leaks and I got the tank itself for 50 dollars with the entire setup going at approximately 100 dollars in total.

I did not have much in terms of cable length so I had to use an extension cord for the cables to properly reach as they were much too short to reach the wall outlet.
I only added the water and dechlorinator today and I have yet to add sand and plants but I will do so later as for livestock I will start by adding some snails and shrimps and then when my tank is cycled I will add a single Betta fish as they are quite beautiful and have long fins that are mesmerizing.

I am thinking of starting a YouTube channel like my old YouTube channel called axelrodi mansion that I deleted along with my Gmail account where I shared videos of my fish which is what I was doing with my 145 liter aquarium at my dad's house where I gained valuable experience and knowledge in fish keeping so I should be ready for keeping a smaller more challenging tank.

My son had a very nice "desktop" aquarium this size. Betas appreciate live plants...as will the snails and shrimps. Just be careful because the small snails can multiply and quickly take over, and some snail species actually release toxins...know what you are getting. Personally, I might just stick with the little shrimp...they are good little workers.
 
I had aquaria when I was younger. I got a lot of enjoyment out of them. I had some betas for a while. It’s good to see you’re giving him a lot of space. I look forward to more photos!
