I Want To Build An Ecosystem For A 40-55 Galleon Fresh Water Tank?

Well, I know I have to wait for the water to recycle and the nitrogen cycle and everything. I’m going to start with fresh water fish. I do love betas, and I do plan on breeding in the future.
I do want to plant the flowers and have an entire ecosystem. I have had betas before, but only a two galleon tank, which broke after my beta died.
But I really want to put beautiful fresh water aquarium fish in the beginning, and I’m not sure how many fish I can house in a 40 galleon tank. I could get a 75 galleon water tank, but I thought to start out on a forty, because the 75galleon, I want to use for a salt water.
But can you give me names of fish that are good with housing with betas, or any tips on beautiful aquariums for fresh water fish.
I did care for large water aquariums in high school (3 years ago) for my marine biology. I know I must buy some water test, thermometers and other stuff. My preference would be tropical. I don’t like big headed fish, and I don’t want any gold fish. Well any suggestions? Imagine you’re building your own fresh water ecosystem <3

Why Are My Nitrate Levels In My Fresh Water Fish Aquarium Always So High?

I have a 29 gallon freshwater tank with 4 fish equaling about 16 linear inches, the tank is 74 – 78 degrees Fahrenheit. My average readings are; .25ppm Ammonia, 0ppm Nitrite, the Nitrates are always above 50ppm, usually 60, but I’ve measured over 80 more than once. When I started the tank the Ph was very Alkaline, more than 8. I have gotten the ph down to about 7.7, but it took me 8 mounths to do it. So if anyone has an idea about lowering the Nitrates or the Ph(besides changing the water), please let me know what’s good.

Live Aquarium Plants Problem? Along With Fresh Water Crabs?

I have live plants in my aquarium. Now one of the bulbs is floating(its a full size plant and all) I have tried so many times to put it down under the gravel but it gets knocked out then my fresh water crabs will climb on it and a few have gotten in the filter or died on the floor.

What Are Some Unusual Fresh Water Plants/fish (but Sell-able) To Stock In My Pet Store?

Right now the store is selling mostly Bettas. We also sell feeder fish, crickets, etc. I’m looking for something to make us stand out from the crowd. As of right now, I think we are the only store in the world to sell Bettas out of their own aquarium instead of a cup. I’m looking for other unique ideas.
