Maybe go to your LFS and write down the names of some fish you like, tell us, and we can help you figure it out. If you want two schools, maybe go with a school of cories and a school of small tetras or barbs. [span class="edited"][Edited by solublefish 2004-07-19 12:33][/span]

Are you looking for bright colors? Maybe you would like the lemon or cardinal tetra. If you're looking for more "mysterious" colors, maybe you want some phantom tetras. You have a lot of options. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish
