Toothbite's askin' for suggestions, so I'll give him some. What do you like to keep in your tank, toothbite?

Honestly, I'm kinda open to anything at this point.

What type of fish are you drawn to - community, aggressive, or something a bit unusual? Got a favorite you'd like to build a stock around?

African cichlids sound cool. I'm looking to stock up on as many as I can.

African cichlids are cool, but how about a small school of rummy nose tetras to add some movement?

Honestly I'm skeptical about fitting Africans in a 30 gallon, but hey if you can make it work, I'm not the right person to ask for advice on that.

Africans I've always been fond of include julidochromis, those brichardis, and shell dwellers - there's just something about 'em. Plenty of other great options out there too, I'm sure.
