I can say that you don't NEED a python if your tank is right next to your kitchen sink. lol. Mines close enough so i can just drain my gravel vac into it and then use the hose form to the sink to fil it back up. ?
 
True also i remember like 3 years ago i used to think the python vacuum was actually a python so i was wondering why do people use pythons for aquariums i was dumb back then
 
also heres current stock list of fish that ima get
1.bumble bee jelly cat
2. stripped Raphael cat
3.african butterfly fish
i think thats a good stock for a 30 gallon until i get the 55

Hey, somebody actually need my expertise! lol

Ok, there are WAY too many that would be great. I need to know the height of the tank and what color/s you're going for. What's you water like?(captive breed species will be just ine but wilds wont do so well in harder water. However if you want to breed a captive breed species then they do needs soft water with a lower pH.)

You mean May?

Apistogramma Agassizii double red has a nice vivid red as well as some blue. Apistogramma trifasciata has nice blues and just a twinge of red. However the head is yellow. With any apistogramma the females will be yellow. I would recommend a pair, trio or harem. This depends on the length of the tank. .

I think apistogramma would be your pest bet. There are many, many others but if you want red and blue that'll be the best ones for you.

A python really does help. It's also a great starting point for diy innovation, too.

Once I grew past a python, I ended up plumbing a T with ball valves into the plumbing of my canister filter. Being able to hook up a hose and then turn some valves to drain the tank with the filter's pump; followed by being able to turn the filter off, turn some valves again and fill it from that same hose was game changing.

That’s pretty much where I am at...I’m ready for valves for water changes....but not until I own my own house!!! So a couple of years and I get to play with sumps, plumbing, and some challenging things...

That's almost a year away! Solid red is almost impossible to find on any natural fish. Epically dwarf cichlids. There are EBRs, Electric blue nannacarqa nomala and 'steel blue'.
