I am in the process of setting up my take and figuring out what exactly would be a good fish population to stock it with. My wife love the colorfull fish and we are not afraid to have native fish either so suggestions would be welcome on all species. I am wanting to have more than on fish in the tank and prefer movement on all levels of the tank.
When setting up the aquascape I plan on using driftwood, rocks and live plants. Currently I only have sand in the bottom and my daughter talked me into getting so fish for her so have 5 zebra danios who are doing great. Thinking driftwood off centered with a few rocks and plants surounding it as well as some moss on the limbs. On the opposite end I am thinking of plants with with a large pile of rocks and pebbles flowing across to meet up with others.
The tank I have doesn't have a hood but plan on building one my self and adding lights to it aswell. On the lighting I am unsure as to which lights I should use so input would be accepted. I would also like to drain and create my on background for it but haven't made up my mind on that yet as I don't want to take up to much space in the aquarium.
Please respond as I am kinda new since it's been like 10 years since I have had an aquarium. I did have one for a few months it was a little 20 gall with 2 convicts in it who spawned within 1 month lol buzy little things. I sold those and used money to get this tank to increase what I was able to do with it.
