I think I have fish keeping boredom syndrome... I want to get new fish for my 30gal butmy parents are so annoying and always say no they like my fish... I want a more fun tank. They don't like any of my idea's I say ill pay for all of it but they complain and annoy me to death. And my other problem is I am not 100% what to stock it with. I keep thinking salt or fresh... If I did coral I would probably do anglers. If I did fresh it would either be bumble bee cats and tetra's or pea puffers and I also thought about shellies or a african lake... Any idea's of what to stock that will keep me happy...?
 
keep what makes you happy. or get a bigger tank.
 
Thats the thing I dont know what to keep...

And if I plant the tank will it be ok with sand substrate?
 
Anyone got some thoughts?

Ok, So sand will be ok

And its a 30gal its a lil small for discus n angels... I could get 1 discus and 2 angels maybe

I thought about 10 tetra's, 3 gouramis, and some cories...but im unsure

I also thought bumble bee cats and pea puffers

then I thought a salt but I dont got funds...

Or tetra's, gouramis, and 2 betta's

I need Ideas... my best one so far is the tetras gouramis and cories
 
african butterfly fish and some corys maybe. imo i would get pretty bored if i had a tank of tetras, gouarmis, etc. go with something exotic like african butterfly fish and a small group of dario dario.
 
How many african butterflys can I have and how many dario dario?

dario dario max out at around 1" and african butterfly fish max out at around 4" so a good amount lol.
 
Setup a nice natural looking tank with sand for some shell dwellers, you will not be bored and you don't have to upgrade for a bigger tank
