I've been a reptile/hedgehog person for a decent while now and I've recently become interested in setting up an aquarium. I purchased a Fluval c3 filter and right now the water is cycling. I don't have any plants or substrate in it yet, but I plan to get a few live plants and I haven't decided on gravel vs sand yet.
Right now I'm trying to figure out what fish I want. The few pet stores around here don't have a huge selection but I know I would like possible a Gourami, and a few Orange sword tails. Those are the fish that have caught my eye at the pet stores. I know there are some tetras(emporer, neon etc) at the stores here. I like the Albino sharks but from what I can tell they need a much larger tank. Does anyone have some suggestions as to what would be some good fish and how many of each I could have? Would there be any other nice looking centerpiece fish other than a gourami?
Thanks!
