I have decided to go with a 10G tank with a heater and a couple of plants. People have told me to go with low light plants because I am buying a "starter kit" (its my first tank) and ive been told that the lights are dimmer than most. my ideal tank would have loaches (black kuhli or weather), cory cats, ghost shrimp, and either tetras, gouramis, or dainos. i wont be getting it till after christmas most likely and i will accept any ideas that anyone can offer me. please let me know and tell me your 10G setup if you want. thank you so much. you guys are great. -addeo
