Mini Sternarchorhynchus?

[fish101]

Sadly due to the lack of time, I could not get the 200x60x65cm tank, however i do have a 33 gallon (80x35x45cm) tank, would it be okay, for a sternarchorhynchus mendesi? (usually 17-19cm). I heared they are quite adaptable and friendly. Tipps are appreciated. Here is a photo of the tank, in case the tipps have something to do with the scape. It would be greatly appreciated. I am also getting more hornwort for coverage.

Current Stock: 7x Corydoras Arcuatus, 4x Tylomania, 1x Hitchhiker Ramshorn Snail (pink quartz)

I would go for dark wallpaper, those fish are from murky waters, they don't like bright tanks. The size of the aquarium is fine. I had a 20 cm gymnotus carapo in a 125 liter tank.

Thanks for the tipps! Yeah the light is fairly bright, the thing is, most wallpapers in my area, are either the crappy stereotypical ocean-like, or are just made for nano tanks. I am trying to dim the lights naturally through hornwort (trying to buy more of them).

Wallpapers are similar all over Europe, you can also put your own dark foil there.

Clip apiece of black fabric to the rear glass, like a small drape

I added leaf litter and some more hornwort. Also there are shaded areas, which are not visible on the photo, and on the left there is a cave and on the right on the wood there is a cave cluster, which you can soo of the second photo.
