Hello Community,
I am a brand new fish-keeper, outside of the deathtraps I managed as a kid. I have recently ordered a 30 gallon Aqueno Tank with a Eheim 2211 filtration system to use as my starter tank. My house generally has the A/C running all day @ 75 and I'm planning to position the tank near a window (100% treecover, so no direct sunlight). I would also prefer that my tank not be murky.
The possibilities are endless, and I don't really know where to start so I have a few questions:
1. I am really open to the type of biotope I'm willing to simulate, my question is which biotope would be best for a beginner (with the least amount of effort/testing)?
2. Which biotope are the plants most readily available?
3. Is my filtration system too strong for my tank size? plants? Does filtration type matter? Should I change?
4. Should I even bother to have live plants or would they be too much to handle for a beginner?
Any nudging would be appreciated.
