Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Long story short, I gave up on fishkeeping and my 29G tank has been sitting empty in my home office for over a year collecting dust.
I'd like to try again, with hopes that I will be successful this time. I would like to try live plants again, even though I had a difficult time last time. I'm planning to stick to low-tech setup, with plants like anubias, java fern and other low light plants. Any suggestions on other plants to consider? Is it best to plant heavily from the start? If so, how would I know how much is enough? I have Flourite to use as the substrate.
Secondly, what would be easy fish to keep? I live in Central Texas and have hard water with a high pH from the tap (around 8.2 or so). I would like to keep the stocking level on the low side for easier maintenance. At this point, I'm not picky about fish. Would love fish that are tough, easy to find and affordable. Am I asking too much?
I have a 29G tank (30.25" wide x 12.5" deep x 18.75" tall).
If anyone has any thoughts/advice to share, I would really appreciate it! Would really love to get my aquarium established again for my family and myself to enjoy. Thank you!
