Maybe try some bottom level fish for your tank, like some Cories? Preferably at least 4, because they like to be in groups.

As for feeding them other things, have you tried any Frozen or Freeze-dried foods? Like Bloodworms, Brine Shrimp, Daphnia...etc. My fish all love those kinds of foods. And you can try feeding some blanched veggies, like Cucumber, Zucchini etc.

no never tryed any of those
were do they sell them

well i tryed peas, they just dont seem to eat it ( they try but there mouths are to small so i cut it up but they still dont eat it)

 

[Annastasia]

Where do they sell what? Cories, or the foods I mentioned? Though the answer to either would be usually they have them at your fish store.

One other thing I forgot to mention...Cories can be prone to Bacterial infections, so if you get them, be sure to keep the tank clean, and also make sure the gravel is clean.

How long are your lights on for? Set them to 8 hours. Change 20% of your water every week.

Do both those things and you shouldn't get an algae problem.

I don't know much about plants, they are all the same to me. Broad leafed is good if you have strong currents or fish that try and eat them.

What filter do you have?

Piece of advice for you to take or leave mate. Give information in your posts, illustrate what you've researched so far, and give people a chance to reply. Then you'll get good answers.
