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 20 long; I want to have a school of tetras and more. Is it possible?
2. Planted vs. Unplanted. Is there a difference, or is it just aesthetics?
3. If I get the aquarium running, will I have to put my hand in at all to pick things up and whatnot?
Getting Fish:
1. As I mentioned, I want tetras. What goes well with them?
2. Will I need an entirely different tank for quarantine? Or will a simple 5 gallon work for a single fish?
I'm pretty clear on maintenance. Any other tips to help a newbie?
