Nothobranchius rachovii Or bluefin nothos and a type of rasbora , I think. I really like your tank, the different textures really stand out. The lonely little tetra would like some more buddies though

The killifish are jumpers and also prefer hardwater. Your water is super soft which is great for plants and most fish but not ideal for killifish. If you want to keep them alive a top is a minimum requirement.

Your tank otherwise looks great, Especially compared to my first planted tank.

If you are happy with your filtration then leave it alone but I will say your tank will be fine with just the eheim by itself.

My biggest piece of advice though is to not be afraid to rescape your tank anytime you want. I rescaped a small 5 gallon tank probably every month to 2 months for over a year and learned a lot doing it. With such small tanks it's easy to do.

Very pretty set-up, but are your nitrites really 5? You had better be changing the water and adding some bacteria if that’s correct.
