Okay, after looking at Petco.com and taking suggestions for my 30 gallon...would this be a good stock list? I really love tetras...

Glass Catfish/Ghost Catfish x3
Bloodfin Tetra x4 or x3
Female Halfmoon Betta x1
Lyretail Guppy x1

Will take any more suggestions...I'm a beginner and I'm trying...:(
 
Glass catfish are relatively delicate if you keep them in groups less than 6, I'd bump their numbers a bit. The same goes for the bloodfin tetras, go with at least 5 for a proper school. You have room to do it even with your current stocking list, and the fish will be more comfortable/safe. Female bettas can be hit or miss in community tanks, so keep a close eye on her... They may seem fine at first and then randomly decide to chomp on a tankmate, probably the guppy would be her first target. You'll have less problems if you add her last so she doesn't claim the entire tank as her territory.
