I Just Got A New Aquarium (36 Gallon Bow Front, Freshwater), Wondering

[fishguy101]

What kind of fish do you think I should put in it?

Sounds like a fair sized tank
Any ideas on what you're eventually going to put in it?

It kind of looks like this (Without The Fish And Size Wise). It wouldn't let me put my file on here, so I just took this off the internet.

I have a 36 bowfront as well...you have plenty of options as far as fish, take your time and think about what you want while your tank is cycling. I rushed into decorations and getting the tank set up so I am in the middle of a fish in cycle with a tank that does not have the look I would now go for but hey live and learn.

You have plenty of room to have a few Gourami's and a nice school of smaller fish, just look around on the forum and decide what fish interest you. I am planning on 3 opaline gourami's, 8-10 of a nice schooling fish (still undecided) and the 4 mollies that are in the tank already. Is your tank the Aqueon?

It's more a question of what kind of fish would you like to put in it? You could have 20 people answer you with 20 different answers, but not coming up with something you like. I suggest you have a browse around your LFSs, see what you like the look of, and post their names on this thread. You will then get stocking suggestions based around what you like, not what someone else likes.

I was originally thinking of a few cichlids.

The other thing to consider is your local natural water chemistry. If you have naturally hard alkaline water, then a group of malawi cichlids would be perfect. If you have soft acidic water, then a community tank based around some south american or central american cichlids would probs be the way to go.

Alright.
