Aquarium Advice Apprentice
HI! Ok so as in my other thread I said I thought a tank would be a nice addition to my room as something calming and nice to look at etc.
So now since that night I have looked into both saltwater and freshwater tanks.
I decided freshwater would be better since I don't have really any experience in keep a fishtank.
I'm looking at maybe a 10 to 15 gallon tank. Nothing really large yet I would like to get more experience under my belt before I start venturing off into bigger tanks.
I have also been reading about the difference between planted and not planted but fake plant tanks...I decided I think I want to try a planted tank, it just seems like it would be worth the extra time and effort.
So with that said here comes my first questions....
1.what are some good hardy, low light plants for a tank of the 10 to 15 gal size? (I've seen a lot of suggestions but then some people say disagree)
2. Is soil necessary? If I was to do A planted tank what kind of tank substrate should I use?
3. HOw about good hardy fish for a beginner?
4. Equipment for a 10 to 15 gallon?
Anything I'm forgetting?
As for equipment I saw this site....is it missing anything?
