Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi. I have a standard 10 gallon glass aquarium that I'd like to re-start. (As of now, it just has water, some rocks, and sand from a local pond in it.) I'm considering both freshwater and saltwater options.
As for my freshwater ideas, I have some plants for it in a seperate container (java moss, java fern, and watersprite), but nothing else. I really like cichlids (I've heard that it's possible to keep some species of small cichlids in pairs in 10 gallon tanks) and gouramis (I think the smaller varieties can be kept in 10 gallon tanks with other small, non-agressive fish).
Can you give me some suggestions and/or scenarios for my tank? I need to know what kind of substrate is appropriate and what kind of fish and plants I can keep.
