The day has finally come. Ever since I joined this forum I have wanted a 30 gallon. Now it is finally here! The catch with my stocking is that I already have fish and plants. I have 1 ten gallon and five gallon. I haven't restocked them knowing I am getting this tank. This is the current stock
10; 3 ADF (African Dwarf Frogs), 1 Male betta, 1 Zebra Danio
5; 2 White Cloud Mountain Minnows, 1 Sunset Platy
So yes I know bettas don't like fast moving fish, especially danio, but I have had this betta (Zeta) for a year since he was a baby. I actually got him from hrutan back in December. As soon as I got him, he has lived with Zebra Danio all his life and hasn't had a problem. He also lived with Platy, Swordtail, Oto, Corycats, Loaches, and of course ADFs. I love this little bugger. So I am not afraid of compatibility. I just am curious of how to stock the tank. I don't want more than one school, but I don't know which fish to pick. and then do I just keep the latter until it passes? Also since I have ADF I was worried the tank was too high for them to get air. I will be having driftwood and stuff, but I was thinking maybe of doing a sloping sandbed? I also have lucky bamboo (but it is a good 2 ft tall). Another thing, could I add a Ram with a betta? Or a rainbow shark? I was thinking this

5x panda cory
1x betta
1x sunset platy
2x oto
3x ADF
5x Danio/Cloud Minnows
and what else? Thanks?
