Hey guys. This is my first post here and glad to be a part of it. I've just gotten into keeping fish so I know very little. I do have the common sense thouh to know you can't overcrowd a tank with fish. I recently purchased a 12 gallon eclipse tank from petco. While there I fell in love with many different types of fish but don't know how many of each I can fit in this tank or if they are compatible. I narrowed it down to 4 species. zebra danios, neon tetras, sunburst glofish, and african dwarf frogs. I was thinking maybe 3 of each of the fish and 2 frogs too much? Any combination of them that would work or do I have to sacrafice something? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and I thank anyone who takes the time to respond.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum.
First of all, have a read of the pinned topic about "fishless cycling" if you haven't done so already.
Neon Tetras aren't very hardy fish and prefer a more mature tank, so you'd have to wait a good few weeks before adding any. They are also best kept in groups of 6+.
I've not heard of the Sunburst Glofish so not sure on their requirements.
Zebra Danios are quite an active fish that are best kept in groups of 6+, they also prefer plenty of swimming space.
Many people start with fish like Danios as they are quite a hardy fish.
Are there any other fish that you really like?
