Ok We were cleaning out under the house and i found a very good 15G tank so i am going to set it up. I was wondering what some nice fish would be?? Like schooling to cilchid or whatever you think. I want to set up a sandy substrate with a good variety of plants.
 
In my 15g i have a male ram,6 cardinals, 1 clown pleco, 6 amano shirmp ,3 cherry shrimp(that i never see so i dont' know if they are still there), I also have 2 Bristlenose pleco growing out,right now they are only 1-2" and are going ot be moved to another tank.Its also fairly heavily planted, with clay pot caves and driftwood.

I might be able to post a pic later on.

Edit: Here is that tank pic

I have sand in all my tanks and haven't ever experienced any problems.
 
sand is good. i use it in almost all of my tanks...i find it easier to to clean, actually, and i definitely think it looks better. my plants also like it. the only caution: you should keep it no deeper than 2" lest you risk the deadly anaerobic pocket predicament. but that shouldn't be a problem.

What does this mean?? My LFS said not to use the stuff even tho i really wanted it in my 125G, the buggers. Anyways i will use it in my 15. I am thinking about 8neons, 3 corydoras, 1 betta. How does that sound??
 
Sand will be perfectly fine, but i wouldnt use no more than 1 1/2 inch layer or so...supposably these highly toxic gas pockets can form and can potnetially kill your fish if they are released into your water....anyways, i use sand in 2 of my tanks and never had a problem with it. I vaccum the surface of it every other week(20-30%water change every week) and i stir it up gently once a month.
