This is my 30 Gallon tall tank, i have alwayz kept cichlids and never botherd with live plants but now i only have a few fish including 3 dojo loaches, 2 clown loaches, 2 corys, 2 tri colour sharks, a swordtail and a large angel. i have a few live plants in there now but as you will see from the picture there is lots of space to fill in, any suggestion on fish, plants or anything else??

How much light do you have there? If only the std strip, that won't grow much.

your plants are not healthy!

youshould retrofit that light strip with a 1x55watt AHSupply.com retrofit. Right now, you might as well just pull the plants as they will melt into nothingness.

Can you tell us more about your tank setup, including light/bulbs, C02 etc.

I'm using the diy C02 (yeast and sugar) and i have my lights upgraded to 2 floresent bulbs, with a total wattage of 120 watts

I am unaware of 60watt bulbs. Are these actually 60watts each or the equivalent of 60watts incandecent. It is a common newbie mistake to equate incandescent watts to fluorescent watts.
