Hi Jonebee!
Same size tank as mine!
You'll find, keeping a smaller tank harder.
Some fish get territorial, and over-crowding is SO easily done..
so choosing the right community fish is even more crucial too.
In my very limited experience, don't get over-excited and try keeping the more "exotic" fish yet.. Start with hardier type fish, and learn to keep them well 1st.
Platys are good tempered, hardy starter fish, They'll keep you amused, as they never stop darting around.(Though breed like wildfire..) Make sure you have someone to offload them to..
Bogwood, I got that too.. Don't be surprised at how long it stains your water for, even after soaking for a good week!
Make sure you establish your tank well.. Don't get over-enthusiastic and add fish too soon..
From sad experience..
There will be great advice on here, I had some already.
People seem kind and tolerant of us "Newbies" too!
