    Hello
    this is my first real planted tank, and i would like some suggestions, fish wise.
    the tank is fully cycled ect, and contains:

    lots of plants
    butterfly fish
    dwarf gourami
    small hoplo cat (will be moved into a 35 gallon in a few months)
    peppermint bristelnose

    thats it...
    tank is 24x12x12

    Hi mez, yr choice of plants r limited with a the use of a 2footer.. judging from yr fishes, u defintely need a driftwood for yr bristlenose... so a good choice will be will amazon sword... more echinodorus species, but u have to get those suitable for the tank size.. I will try to find u some species later in the day

    Mez,

    Pearl Gouramis (Trichogaster leeri). []
    Me current craze.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
