Community TankI would advise all beginning to start off with community tanks, smaller to medium size peaceful fish. In a community tank you can have several different kinds of fish, more colors, shapes and personalities are great for a beginner!
Some beginner community fish for a 30G include;
Neons
SWordtails
Guppies
Platys
Dwarf Gourami
White Cloud Mountain Minnow
Zebra DaniOS
Rasboras
Cherry Barbs
Loaches
Be careful not to crowd your tank however, always consult a worker at your local petstore if unsure how many fish is too many for your aquarium
Cheers,
CF
also consider a bottom feeder such as an otocinclus to help maintain the tank.
