25 gallon stocking ideas.

[pleechford]

Hey guys, so I'm starting up a 25 gallon I received as a gift for Christmas. I am going to transfer all my plants from my 10 gallon into here. I want to have a couple of schools of fish. What are some beautiful schooling fish besides neon tetras? I want to be different from everyone else

Microrasboras are pretty as are celestial pearl danios. Lots of options really. Im also partial to harlquin rasboras and gold ringed danios myself...

Well I have my tank set up!! I have 40 pounds of Eco complete substrate in there so about 3 inches of substrate. I am going to transfer my plants over from my 10g when my current nova t5ho x2 comes in! Also I bought a Milwaukee regulator and 5lb co2 tank!!

Any ideas of how I should set up my plants?!

I have:
A bundle Cabomba
1 anubias
1 Spiral Val
1 Java fern
3 bunches Crypts
3 Amazon swords that are barely hanging in there.

I want to get some dwarf baby tears for a ground cover.

How should I set up my plants?? Ideas?

red eye tetra is a great option.

Rummy nose or panda tetras, long finned blue danios. I have those in my tank and they school nicely.

I really love black skirt tetras and bleeding hearts
