I'm planning to buy a new 30G tank for my room tommorow. got any suggestions on what fish to stock on it or a biotype tank maybe? need list of fish.
 
African biotope...
1- African butterfly fish
1- African knifefish
6- congo tetras (might have to watch incase they get nippy with the abf's long fins)
1- pair of kribs
 
african knife? don'tthey grow large? any plant suggestions for a african bio type?
 
I'd erase the African knifefish from the list. The rest mentioned by MM are fine though. I have not observed Congo tetras to nip anything yet.

Anubias species are easy to care for African plants.

I agree about skipping the knife for a 30 gallon

I really like Amazon and Southeast Asian biotopes as well.

For the Amazon you could do something like:
15 tetras (of 1 or 2 small species-I like cardinals best personally)
6 cories
and a pair of dwarf cichlids (rams or apistos)

For the Asian:
A pair of peaceful gouramis (pearls are a good choice)
~15 rasboras (or danios could work-I really like espei rasboras)
8 kuhli loaches
 
I say Asian if you have soft water from your tap, African if your water is hard & high pH. My asian tank (waterfall biotype) stock is 2)Opaline Gourami, 4) PolkaDot Loach, 2) YoYo Loach, 2)Clown Loach, & a Rubberlip Pleco. The Pleco is actually amazonian, but he likes soft water... Its by far the most entertaining tank I've ever kept!
 
thanks for the ideas and suggestions guys, i think i have decided on what to do with my tank.
