some of the brighter fake plants with a couple darker would look great withthe gravel. a small cave type my mother in law uses an old terra cotta pot she sterilized in the tank for that on its side for shelter. and as was said earlier tatras would be great. i saw some albino ones the other day in the pet store that would be awesome in there

I like the black too, and agree that a white or off white center piece would look killer! but contrast that with dark green plants. cichlids would be good but there are a lot of BRIGHT tetra and platys. good luck

Get your own ideas instead of stealing everyone elses. I hate people like you. Empty the tank and piss off

Get an white fish like an albino catfish or something. That would contrast well with the black.

I just started my self...less than 2 months into it with my 24g tank. Barbs worked great to get the tank started. I don't know that my tank is 'established' or 'mature' but my Dwarf Cichlid German Blue Ram is doing good now. Now I'm trying to find something for the upper levels. Maybe some Danios or Rasbosas. Do some research and have fun.

You could do either do the cichlid tank or maybe a planted/community tank... planted tank would require a bit more research and regular maintenance. Depends which fish you prefer. I was in your position 5 months ago and went the planted/community cause I liked the variety of fish in a community tank. I've had to research and learn heaps about how to grow plants, but it's been worth it. Either way do heaps of reserach on forums like fishforums.net and ask heaps of questions. Enjoy!
