About Yourself:
I've been into freshwater aquariums since I was a teenager, but I left the hobby for a long time.
I have recently taken it up again and glad I did.
Fish Kept:
Currently:
16 zebra danios
7 platys
7 bronze corydoras
2 kuhli loaches
2 golden chinese algae eaters
3 oto cats
Corals/Plants:
Java fern, Anubias, Vallisneria, and I can't remember the scientific names of the rest...Sorry
Tank Size:
24 gallons
Advice:
Use ADA Amazonia Soil and a lot of it. Would recommend at least 3-4" deep to allow optimal root growth.
Don't need to use Co2 if you use good lighting, would recommend 1 watt per liter. This is where I fell short, but my plants still managed to thrive.

This aquascape looks much better in real life.
