I'm trying to startup a 20 gallon freshwater tank to sit on my new desk. I'm not new to the aquarium hobby but I haven't had a fish tank in several years. I've housed a 60 gallon reef tank, 30 gallon cichlid tank, 5 gallon nano, and another 30 gallon reef tank over the years. However, for the past few years I've been more into amphibians and currently have nothing but dart frog terrariums. With this new tank I'm trying to slowly get back into the hobby. I'm gonna start off with some freshwater beginner fish and plants. I've started thinking of stocking ideas. As of now I want 8 Celestial Pearl Danios (Galaxy Rasbora), 6 Forktail Blue Eye Rainbows, a small colony of Cherry Shrimp and eventually an Electric Blue Ram. I've never housed any of these fish and I've never setup a freshwater planted aquarium. I can certainly keep freshwater fish alive and healthy but not so sure about plants. Do you guys have any suggestions for beginners? Also any extra information on these fish? I've researched a bit but I'd still love to learn more. I know the Ram isn't a beginner fish but as I said I consider myself at least a novice. This would also be the last fish added to the tank so I can "get my feet wet" so to say. Thanks guys For the tips and information I greatly appreciate it. Im attaching a picture of one of my darts if you'd like to check him out. [emoji12]
