Redoing the old. looking for something new

[jackywacky]

it has been a HOT minute since i’ve been on here. gotten out of the hobby but still have 2 main tanks and trying to do something different with one of them. simple question

what do i stick it with?

it’s a 30 gallon fluval mega flex, will be planted, i want something oddball, not too high maintenance.

here’s the tank, sorry for the glare!!!

Your hardscape seems like it'd suite a brackish tank to me. Perhaps you could make it mildly brackish, so you could still grow some tolerant plants like Vallisneria. Then, you could get some oddball fishes like bumblebee gobies, glassfish, and wrestling halfbeaks.

hmmmm that’s a different idea. how hard is it to mess with the salt and keep it in balance?

For a brackish tank, it's not tough. Just get one of those salinity testers, and you're good to go.

If you don't want to mess with the salt (I can't blame you). There's a bunch of great African oddball fishes to choose from like African Glass Catfish, African Butterfly Fish, and smaller species of Ctenopomas and Synodontis. Some plants that would suite a tank like this could be Tiger Lotus, Vallisneria, Aponogetons, and Anubias.
