First off, i want to say hello to everyone. New member, first post yadda yadda...
Well,i have a 30 gallon tank, panguin 125 bio wheel filter. I have always kept a simple tank with a convict and something else i dont even know the name of for about 3 years. I have always avoided educating myself on keeping a tank in favor of basically just being lucky. I never checked ph or even knew what cycling was but alas, i redid my tank, gravel, water, couple rocks and plastic plants and killed my two fish.
So i decided to confront my demons and started reading. FF too today. I now know about cycling and good bacteria, have read through most of the FAQ and sticky topics and am now left with fish block (fish version of writers' block).
So i want a tank that is fun to look at and maintan. small and medium size fish of different varieties that are non aggressive. Live plants would be nice. I relly need a plan and would appreciate some different opinions. How many of each species, what order to introduce them in, even pics of tanks with similar makeup would be cool.
thanks
