Hi everyone !

I’m glad i found this board so I could ask all my questions about fishkeeping. I have absolutely no experience, and i’m currently planning to but my first aquarium. Thanks to your site, i understood the importance of fishless cycling.

I will soon get either a 33 gallons or 20 gallons aquarium kit (hagen brand). But now i’m just wondering if planted aquarium care is much more difficult for a newbie like me. If i add plants, that’s gonna be low light ones for sure.

So do you think guys this is a good idea to start my fishless cycles with a few low light plants ? Do i need a special filter to have plants ? Is the standard lighting sold in these starter kits enough ? Any tips about the easiest plants to maintain ?


Or should I simply forget about plants until I get more experience ?

Thanks for your help
