Thank you folks
I'm returning to the hobby, I kept goldfish and trops in the 80s and am feeling the urge to do so again.
My trops were kuhli loach, dwarf chain loach, cardinals, WCMM, a single clown loach and a single Ram. They thrived with under gravel and HOB filtration and 25% water changes. No water testing, just gradually adding fish. All my plants died, so plastics to the rescue.
I have a host of Q's, which I'll unload presently, so many choices.
Inspired by seeing many scaped beauties, I'll settle for a few active fish, in flowing water, plus two or three plants that will survive my best efforts to kill them
