About to start the long process of talking my parents into a new fish tank (It's only my second one!) and this one caught my eye. It's a Mr. Aqua rimless 12 gallon long. The dimensions are 35.4 x 8.3 x 9.4. I was wondering about the right equipment to use and how to stock it. I was thinking that since the tank is so long I could go for more active fish that wouldn't normally be good for a 12 gal.
For the filter I was thinking an ehiem canister- but I think a fluval would be cheaper. is the fluval just as good as the ehiem and is it really quiet? This filter has to be completly silent because the tank will have to go in my bedroom.
What lighting should I get? I want to be able to grow tons of cool plants, but I really know nothing about them, having only kept java fern, anubis, and marimo moss balls. Any information about plant growing is appreciated. Also please leave the names of really nice plants that I might be able to grow.
These are some fish that I like and I think might be happy in this tank (not all together of course)
tiger barbs
honey gourami
some other random type of gourami
ottos
shell dwelling ciclids
platies
long fin red minor tetras
and mollies
If you had this tank what would you stock it with?
in advance
