Ok, here is the deal. everyone come up with a stocklist, I`ll choose the 4 favourites (or maybe 5) and then do a poll or something on it.

I would like a cichlid option, a rare/oddball option (or two) and then just whatever everybody else can think of.

And definatley no Bettas as they aren`t my cup of tea.

Well, for an oddball, i guess you could get a Coolie/Kuhli Loach. They are sort of like an eel and are really good in an Aquarium.

Or I suggest a Sole, they are compressed ell-like things too. They are as flat as a pancake, and are very odd....

Oh! Now that I think of it, maybe you could get an Upside-Down Catfish. (Sorry, I like oddballs) They are very strange looking...

Well, these are some nice, pretty cichlids that could be good too:

Chequerboard Cichlid
Ram
Jade-Eyed Cichlid
Oscar
Discus
Brown Julie
Neolamprogus brevis (it is unnamed)

Maybe you could try some of those.... I'm not good with cichlids so I'm not sure if you would like them and what they are like, but its your tank!

any of these sound good?

1. Wait along time to find a rare tetra in your LFS and then get some.

2.Some shellies

3.Endlers


All i can think of this early in the morning.

Cichlids:

-pair of kribs
-German or Bolivian rams
-apistos
-shellies

Oddball:

-puffers; I only have experience with dwarf puffers but I'd think there are others that would work in a 15g
-brackish tank

Endler's make a very colorful tank. I breed them in a 10g-have no idea how many are in there-and they look fantastic with a dark substrate and plants, even just floaters.

Have you any interest in doing a SW tank?

Go with shellies, you won't regret it! Some really lovely Tahitian Moon sand, shells, and a few of the most fun fish you'll ever own!


BTW - Jaylene, there's an edit button at the bottom of every post so you can edit new additions into an old post rather than reposting again and again. Dead useful!

Visit shelldwellers.com!

I think archers can go in that but just have one fill it up to about have the tank and have like a land seen put crickets in it and watch the archer shoot!

I think shell-dwellers would be a great choice. They're oddball cichlids, so they would meet your criteria. N. brevis and L. ocellatus are great shellies, they're small, and are very entertaining to watch.

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I would go with Kuhlies. I have 3 of these and they were so busy hiding for the first week, that they freaked me out. You need a small school of these guys and they would be perfect for a 15 gal as they dont get that big.

i've always wanted hillstream loaches but i think they have to be a species tank because they like very different conditions (very fast current, much cooler water etc...)

how about dwarf puffers?

or rams. If i were you I would also consider shellies, though I have never kept them before.

I already have 2 Upsidedown Catfish. Kuhlis sound cool but I have had them before, I might go with cichlids or maybe a brackish puffer.

I was thinking of going for a Chaca chaca but that might take a while. Just wait and see for a bit.

go for kribs
i have a pair in my 15G planted
and they basically never stop breeding
