Hello from southeast Georgia

Hello all! This is the first aquarium forum that I have joined, though I have read a number of different threads on this website. While I have kept a few fish over the years, I have recently gotten into the hobby and am currently working on stocking a 45 gallon tank.

Hello all! This is the first aquarium forum that I have joined, though I have read a number of different threads on this website. While I have kept a few fish over the years, I have recently gotten into the hobby and am currently working on stocking a 45 gallon tank.

Welcome! Purely out of curiosity, what fish are going in the 45?

A Emerald Cory catfish and a ivory mystery snail, both of which currently live in a smaller tank, are the only fish/invertebrates that I am certain will be going into the tank. In fact one of the reasons that I have joined is to get people’s opinions on what other fish/invertebrates would go well in the tank, as well as plants and other such things, though I plan on giving a more detailed post about what I have already done with the tank later.

If it’s ok, I’m gonna say my opinion , Up the Corys to 10, and maybe have a huge school of ember tetras?

Welcome to the forum. I'll second jkkgron2's suggestion about adding to the corys (same variety). When I first got mine I never dreamed I'd enjoy watching them as much as I do. I haven't kept ember tetras, but I like that idea too.
If you're looking for a centerpiece fish I'm a big fan of pearl gouramis. They may not look very impressive in the store, but once they get comfortable in a tank and mature a few months they're beautiful fish. One male with one or two females works well.
