Well, I plan on adding fish slowly, to prevent shock and disease, so I think I will be able to see when enough is enough. When I was a kid I had a pleco and a shark and they both seemed ok in my 10 gallon, but I didn't have the tank longer than 2 years (the red tail was very docile).

As far as planting goes, I have a plain gravel substrate and 1.7 w/g lighting, so I'm sticking to easy plants like java moss and java ferns, and maybe a potted crypt and watersprite.
