Welcome, do you have a tank? If not, how much room do you have for one? What are you lokking to spend? What do you like in a fish (color, size, personality)?

Hmm . . . this is a monster fish keeping forum . . . lol, that being said, we do enjoy the usual nano tank as well. How about around 30 gallon tank? Planted with easy-to-keep plants like Java fern and java moss, some drift wood, sandy substrate, and a few rocks. For tank occupants, a school of 8-15 cardinal tetras, school of 8-15 rummy nose tetras, school of 5-9 dwarf rainbow fish, pair of ram cichlids, either a school of 6-9 hatchet fish or an african butterfly fish for a top dweller, and like 5 panda corys for bottom dwellers/ cleaners? I think planted community tanks are the way to go if you want a small tank.
