Hello Everyone!
I am a new fish hobbiest. I have had a successful 10 gallon tank before I moved and it had Tetra and Danio Glofish and a snail. I was misinformed by a very uneducated Pet Store owner about the fact that Glofish are injected to "glo" and since knowing this I will never buy another. Anyway when I had to move out of my apartment I wasn't allowed to have a fish tank in my new apartment and rehomed them to a friend who takes great care of them and I still get to see them when I visit.
Anyway I am moving again and can have up to a 50 gallon tank! I think I would like to do the 50 Gallons as it gives way more options for fish than say my 10 gallon. Do you think I'm getting in over my head?
So my thought is Angel fish and Dwarf Gourami's as my main fish.
What are everyone's opinions on other compatible fish/bottom dwellers and live plants? Also do you suggest a glass tank or another kind?
I would like to keep a mostly peaceful tank but want to have a good community so any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
