Hey, I know exactly what I am planing on doing for my freshwater fish tank, Its already stable and has fish in it, but I am going to get 75$ tell me if this is enough for it, my tank is 10 G, has filter, heater, light, the works, I want to :
Have my tank planted, and I want it to be suitable for only, 1 chinese algea eater, 6 neon tetras, 1 rainbow shark, and 6 guppies. I want to know, what do I need and what is the ~cost of it, for seting my tank to be planted, would it be better if I waited, and saved ~150$ and bought a 29 gallon or 20 gallon, either kit or not, get all the stuff, and make it planted? I just want a small comunity tank under 29 gallons, willing to keep it 10, but if for 150$ i can set it up in a bigger tank I will do so, so any recomendations or anything TY!!!

I'd do away with the rainbow shark and a couple guppies if you're gona keep the 10 gallon, otherwise save up the money for the 29 gallon. It's too easy to crowd a 10 gallon especially when you want to plant it.

but plants cost alot on a tight budget, so if cash is tight a 10g is good, but if not, a 33g is GREAT
