15 gallon black and white theme tank

[downlinx]

ok guys, i am planning a new tank build for my office at work and i have my eyes on a
i am going to be putting black sand and rocks on the bottom of the tank bring out the white of the fish.
here is some of the fish im looking to get
black and white betta

I am still trying to find the name of this betta but am also putting a couple albino cories and a Starlight Bristlenose Pleco

What i need help from you guys are to help me pick out
what tetra's should i put in and what other type of fish should i use.
and should i put live plants in the aquarium?

A 15g may be too small for a BN pleco I have heard 20-30 gallons as the recommended minimum as they can grow to be 4-5" and can be somewhat territorial.

bulldog plecos would work, but those are grey.

Too bad i cant find an l236 zebra pleco for cheap, black strips on white would be nice. I mighe have too look into another type of cleaner.

 

[spencerguy1]

try posting a WTB l236 zebra pleco in the buyer/seller forum.

I have seen some black ottos but don't remember what they were called, in one of the freshwater mags.

some black otto's would be nice.

I was also thinking of a few black stripped tetra's

If by black striped Tetras you mean Black Skirts, not the best choice with a Betta.

yes black skirt tetra, stupid iphone. ok, great, and not so great news, I think this theme case will go down in flames, wish work would allow me a bigger tank in my office.
