Im getting back into the hobby after 10 years, and I've been researching and working hard to set up a new tank. Its about 1/2 way through cycling, and I've got a QT tank I will be setting up with tank water and a sponge filter/hob for when I am ready to start the QT process and get some fish. So...now comes the fun part. The wish list! Looking for some help/advice on 1) this list to see if I should avoid or reduce any fish or inverts and 2) suggestion for stocking order. Currently these are in no order at all - just a list of desireables. Thanks in advance!
