60Lt Tank With Plants.

[sorgan]

Ok guys I currently have a 60lt tank that contains some marine algae and a few marine goby species and a few inverts, due to it being a PITA to maintain I'm going to lump it all into my main marine tank, this means I'm going to have a tank to play with

So as I hate to see dry glass and want to go back to only mixing 2 bottles of SW a week I'm gonna turn this tank over to FW.
Now apart from the betta and the frogs that live in the kitchen I havnt kept FW fish soooooo I need some help.

Cycling will be ok as will aquascaping, planting etc but fish I'm not sure about, what can I put in a 60lt tank, I like inverts so if I can have some that's cool, I'm good at keeping up water changes so a bit overstocked won't be a problem.
Unleash your wisdom on me folks!

Perhaps a massive FW invert tank then if you like inverts so much?

Mini Shrimp, Filter shrimp, snails and micro crabs would all go nicely in there.

Or perhaps if you want to move away from inverts, a small community with the run of the mill bread and butter fish, mollies, platies, guppies etc.

Or even something more specialised like a female betta sorority?

Or even more specialised, turn it into a Paludarium. Half aqua, half dry land, that way you can keep your inverts in a different way.

Tbh those micro crabs don't float my boat, they remind me of Sally lightnings (all spidery)

What kind of 'run of the mill' fish are we talking about, I know pleco's get massive so can't have one of them. Barbs? My dad used to keep them with small black and White things (danios I think) and he had neons (?) and kuli loaches, oh and a clown loach we called snailer, but this was many moons ago so I may be wrong. Could I keep any of the above.

Ps excuse my rambles, it's 6 something in the morning and I should be going to work
