I recently bought a 20 gal. tank that came with a filter and a heater and although I hate to admit it, had a horrible failure when attempting to startup a freshwater native kinda thing...since then, I have decided to seek out some advice on how I should cycle, for how long and what would be some interesting species for a freshwater setup also if there are any invertebrates such as rays that I could keep. Sorry if any of these questions sound outlandish, I am very new to this whole experience. Thanks for any help you can offer.
 
thanks so much, very helpful links, btw you have any suggestions for natives in california that won't rapidly outgrow my 20 gal? i hear bass are bad but what about perch, or possibly bluegill, crappi? Any info is much appreciated! :D
