Could anyone help me with finding out what species my tree is? Also does anyone have any tips on what style would fit to prone my tree into?

I believe it's a Fukien Tea bonsai. I have one. As they are made en masse people can be a bit judgey about them. But it's really grown on me, especially with the little flowers. They are easy to keep, however i started to get slightly curly orange leaves which I mistook for peach leaf curl. But its actually just a result of a little overwatering. Which can be helpful for learning how much to water the plant.

Thank you! Yeah I really like it so far. It's leaves are so small and also it's flowers which really makes it look like a full-grown tree in miniature.
I've heard that you should give the tree new soil because the soil that comes with the tree can be pretty dense but the soil that came with my tree lets overflowing water pass trough to the outer pot do you still think I should change the soil?

It is not fukien tree. It could be a serissa:

Yeah I looked at some pictures of the serissa and compared the leaves of my tree to the serissa and they seem to look a lot more alike the serissa than the Fukien. Maybe was the picture taken with flash that made the leaves look much more shiny than they are and therefore mistaken as a Fukien.

My bad. Next time I'm gonna take a better look before I spread any misinformation again. There's too much around. Enjoy your serissa
