Default 5g Hex Planted Tank Journal

Hey PT! I've had this 5g Eclipse Hex tank since June of this year. It houses my CT Betta, whose been with me since March, and 2 small pond snails. I decided to become serious if it was going to be planted, so I started this journal to get help/ideas to improve the tank. As of now, the tank is bare, but here are the stats:
5g Eclipse Hex Tank
2wpg-10w CF Bulb
Bio-Wheel Filtration
Whisper Jr. Heater- Constant temp of 78° F
CT Betta
2 Pond Snails
Plain Black Gravel
Watersprite
Here are some pictures:

Betta:



I am desperate for ideas for the tank. (Plants, driftwood, rocks, etc). It may be hard finding rocks or driftwood as there is 20+ inches of snow on the ground here. I'm thinking of Dwarf Hairgrass as my carpet if my LFS ever has a decent pot of it. Do you think I could fit in a small school of tetras(4), such as red phantom or bloodfin? Or 2 platies? My Betta was in a tank with 4 Neons before and never bothered them, so he's a friendly fellow . I'm definately going to get an Otocinclus though. I need ideas

Thanks,

Smalltank
