Thanks for the input. I think I'll just go with frogs as bottom-dwellers. Maybe just tetras and danios.

Ok, well, I don't think I can order from the site. I will just get some smaller tetras locally. Also, it appears that gouramis are middle swimmers. I need bottom swimmers. Was looking at cories but noticed they needed smooth substrate and I was looking at black gravel. Ideas?

So, unfortunately local stores don't have ember tetras. They have a variety of others. I'm looking at a school of tetras, maybe some of the small ones that grow to only 1.5 inches. This will compose my middle swimmers. With a few frogs and 2 dwaft gouramis (why not two? they only grow to 2...

Thanks, will make sure to get one gourami.. Are you sure about tetras needing 20?

So I was looking at maybe 5-6 tetras (can different kinds of tetras mix?) 4-5 rasbora danios A few African Dwarf Frogs One or two dwarf gouramis. Would a single female betta work with these? I may upgrade later as time goes on but for now, will this work well and look good in a planted 15 long?

Thanks guys. I'll try my hand at planted and I think you've covered just about everything else. My main question has to do with variety; I will probably get some neons but want different kinds of fish. Assuming I get a school of six tetras, can anything else go in the tank? I was thinking maybe...

So, real plants don't significantly improve their quality of life? In that case I'll probably go with silk.

I've read a lot of guides, but I'd like to get answers to my specific question, if possible. Startup: I'm farly clear on cycling, so let's skip that part. 1. I have a 15 gallon long. I want to get a school of tetras and some other fish, but the guide says that to have a single school I need a...

Yeah, I'll be sure to clean it out (I'm actually pretty OCD, so that was a given.) Thanks for the cycling article. I read about Fishless cycling and will probably be doing that.

So, I am interested in getting some fish. I currently have three gerbils in a 15-gallon long and plan on getting a larger tank for them (Sidebar: Anyone in the Northen VA area selling a used 25-30 gallon tank?) So, I plan on using the 15 to get some fish. I have been doing my homework of fish...
