I initially bought it wanting to keep a pair or trio of white crappie. Would they be okay with live plants?
I also thought of heating it up a little and keeping them with some severums or another similarly sized south/central american cichlid. Thoughts?
My third thought was to go planted community and get some smaller species of panfish. Do you think a small species of sunfish could do well in a heavily planted community with rainbowfish, gouramis, and fish of that sort?
I am definitely leaning towards the third, but i want yalls opinions. Sorry for all the questions, but i want to have a tank i can enjoy for a long time and i want to be sure.

keep the blackbanded sunfish (or other members of its genus) if you wish to keep a sunfish with any tropicals, and even then said tropicals would need to tolerate room temperature, keep blackbanded sunfish in a heavily planted, acidic-water tank

I have kept bluegill before and they never colored up like when they were caught, but then i was much younger and in hindsight had no idea what i was doing at the time.
