Hey all! I'm new to the forums and I had a couple of questions about a tank I'm getting ready to set up.
First of all, I'm pretty familiar with fish, but I'm no expert. I grew up with numerous setups, but haven't had anything to do with fish since I moved out of my parents house about a year ago. I'm currently living in an apartment with my boyfriend of 3 1/2 years and he's decided to let me set up a tank. I want to set up a nice 10g tank to get back into the flow of things before I set up my 55g and I was wondering what kind of stock I could have with the following fish in mind:
Dwarf Gourami
Fancy Guppy
Neon Tetra
Amano Shrimp
ADF
Oto and/or Albino Cory
I could do without the ADF and amano shrimp if I had to, but I've never had either before, so I thought it might be something new and interesting.
The tank will be somewhat planted as well, which I've never done -- I've always had fake plants, and I was also wondering what kind of filtration and lighting would be best for my setup.
Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any comments!
