I have a dream....

[Tkeeper]

So anyway folks I don't have any fish tanks set up atm but I should be setting a small tropical tank soon
But eventually if everything works out with that I plan on building (or buying) a fairly large tank (Not sure on exact sizes yet but at least 4 foot) and stocking it with......
NEON TETRAS
The plan is to heavily plant the tank and have several shoals of tetras in it to add abit of activity.
I know it would make more sense to add a few more larger fish but when ever I think about adding an Oscar or something similar it just ruins the idea of the tank in my head......
So if anyone has any suggestions for plants (I'll be going for an amazon/tropical river theme) filters, lighting and any other good tips please comment bellow
cheers

If you want a heavily planted tank with tetras, do a search on Takashi Amano. He is the Master of planted tanks.

His work is breathtakingly gorgeous, incredibly beautiful.

I always wanted have a monster tank full of tiny schooling fishes. Neon tetras, cardinal tetras, emerald catfish, hatchetfish, a twig catfish or a whiptail catfish, rummynose tetras, coral pencilfish, maybe even a pair of dwarf cichlids such as rams and Apistogramma. At last thats what my dream stock is.
