It's been quite a while since I've been on this board.
I've had a 55 gallon with an oscar for nearly 2 years now. I love it, but the setup limits me in some key ways:
A: I can't decorate, outside of rocks, because Grumbo will lay waist to anything I toss in there.
B: I'm at full capacity and I can't do a comunity setup.
I'm thinking of tossing down a little cash for a new 10-gallon, and I'm looking for some sort of community tank. I would also love to get a planted tank going. So I have some minor questions:
1: Is a 10-gallon enough to have any semblance of a community tank, or do I need to upgrade to a 20?..... Would a 30 be far and away better?
2: For plants, do I need some sort of CO2 device? Do I need special lighting, or what are some good plants that do well in low light.
3: I'm not familiar with community tanks at all, I'd like to hear some recommendations about pretty fish, or good combinations of fish that can fit in a smaller tank.
Thanks for reading.
