Question
hi my name is manny   so I'm looking for something that can grow comfortably in 30gal tank. my tank has some stuff in it already like;brown gravel;a plastic plant;

Answer
You can have up to about 4 african cichlids or a community tank of all different kinds of fish it's honestly up to you. Tetra's, Danios, Platys, Mollies and Swordtails all would fit in your 30 gallon. Some types such as Bala Sharks, Plecostomous,  Clown Loaches, African Rope Fish, Oscars,and Jack Dempseys would eventually get too large for your tank.

Hope this helps.
