Ok here my deal. I have a 30 gallon tank
30Lx12Wx18H

If This was your tank what would you put in it. I need some Ideas.

Thanks in advance

Oooh, lots of nice things you can do with that. I might think of trying:

Asian biotope with khuulie loaches on the bottom and a nice-sixed school of rasboras on top. Doesn't have to be harlequins, there are lots of other kinds. OR make that a school of pearl danios, instead- stunning-looking fish when kept right, though you wouldn't believe it when you see them at Pets@.Or, if you want something more unusual, there's those Asian rummy-noses (sawbwa resplendens).

South American tank with nice school of corys at the bottom and small school of phantom tetras and school of smaller tetras (like glowlights).

Central American with a group of unusual poeciliids- priapella intermedia or black limias or pygmy swordtails, with a slightly inauthentic bristlenose at the bottom, or another small loricariid.

Tanganyikan shelldwellers tank- and you could probably fit in a small group of (wholly inauthentic) goodeids at the top.

Pair of Bolivian rams at the bottom, school of black neons in the middle and a group of hatchet fish at the top.

Dwarf neon rainbows.

Of course, all the above setups do not assume the same water parameters- you would want to look into your local water and think about how much you are prepared to do about that.
 
Hi JoeyBlackrose :)

Welcome to the forum! :hi:

If it were my tank I'd probably keep several kinds of corydoras in it. But then, all my tanks have corys cats in them. :D

What kind of fish do you have in mind? Would you prefer a lot of little fish or a few big ones? Plants or rocks for decoration? :unsure:
 
If it was my choice i would set a up a community tank with 3 schools consisting of harlequin rasboras, Black Neon Tetras and pygmy corries.

I would then add a Dwarf Cichlid or a Gourami of some type as a 'center piece' fish. And maybe a few shrimp.

But thats just my thoughts. I would be able to help you further if you answered the questions which Inchworm asked above. :)
 
gets some plants maybe pebbles and some little coves
