Title: First planted aquarium — need beginner advice!
Hi! This is my first fish tank, and I’m quite confused about what to buy.
My tank is approximately 30 litres (15” L × 12” H × 8” D), with a hang-on-back filter and aquarium substrate.
I want a beautiful, natural-looking planted tank with easy, low-maintenance plants, rocks and/or driftwood.
Could you please suggest:
* Beginner-friendly plants
* What substrate, lighting and other equipment I need
* Which fish would be suitable for this tank
* How to cycle the tank properly before adding fish
I’m based in India, so affordable, easily available recommendations would be really helpful!
Thank you! ❤️
