Tropical fish EXPERTS! Please answer!?

Question

I have a selection of tropical fish and am just wondering what are some care techniques for these fish?

• 1 Red-tailed black shark

• 2 Kribensis

• 2 Apistos

• 4 Angelfish

• 4 Blue Rams

• 4 Dwarf gouramis

• 6 Black skirt tetras

• 6 Otos

• 6 Peppered cory cats

I am going to have the temperature on 25*C, but what type of heater and filter should I have? How many for a 100 gallon tank? What do I feed them? Stuff like that... PLEASE any suggestions! Thanks in advance!

P.S. Should I have lighting? And what type of plants should I put in? Fake or live? I don't really want live because then I have to go all out on lighting, but if they work better, than that's ok. I was thinking ALOT of hiding places and some of those Pisces plant creations, they're fake aren't they?

I applaud you, for starters, for doing your research BEFORE you buy.

I don't know if this is taboo on Yahoo or not but.  I have 3 websites that are extremely informative.  They have pulled me out of some bad stuff as well as guided me towards the proper setup.   They will answer any questions you have and they have experts in all areas of fish keeping, right down to your decorations.  Give them a try.
