So.. having been gone for 8 years from the site, and not having any fish for least that long. Decided to try getting back into fish.. Mainly cause I get get furry pets, and reptiles are a whole nother thing. Highly thinking of doing a planted one, just so I have something to stare at for the 4+ weeks till I can put fish into it.. But, what I need is just some basic infos.
Like, best type of substrate for plants, best plants for new planterer, what fish would be best for a tank that tall. I was looking at maybe Tetras, or something like them. Maybe a cory type or 2, maybe a snail or 500, not sure. Basically, all that jazz. I have a 20G Extra Tall, apparently is what it's called now. Also, lid, and I'm not sure about light, in the winter we get like 1/2 hour of sun and in the summer we get like 50 hours a day of sun.. Also, does it need to have like wallpaper/backdrops on it, or can it be exposed on all sides to light, with the proper plant coverage in all? So to sum it up..
Bests Subtsrats for plants
Best Fish for a tall/kinda skinish tank
Best most hearty kind of plants
Lid/light combo.. Just lid, not sure.
