    planted community tank

    Hello everyone. I just finished building a 26 inch cube out of 1/2 tempered glass. I plan to use it for a planted freshwater tank with several schools of small community fish. Im looking for any advise I can get on the number of very small fish I can easly keep in this tank. I leaning towards tetras and other small fish with lots of color. thanks.
