Which Fish?

[flemmyemmy]

Hi all,
Im another newbie (well kind of) i had a tank set up a few years ago and i loved my fish, i had a plec, 2 corys, 2 guppys and some neons. After a few years the little ones started to get old and passed on (bless 'em) until i had my plec who i loved more than any of them, then one day i got home and he had died, i was totally gutted and couldnt face having any more fish, until now. It's about a year since my plec died and i have moved house and think its time i started again. So my question is this.....what do i start with, i deffinately want to have cory's but not sure what else to go for? any suggestions???

Thanks
Em x

What size tank do you have? Do you know about cycling? A good fish to start with are probably Zebra Danios. Hardy little guys. I ended up having to use them to cycle a tank and they're still doing good.

1. do you know what cycling is
2. do you know anyone who has a tank already up and running?
3. make sure you look into the adult size of your fish so that they can grow up in your tank. Rehoming fish is not much fun for you or the fish.

My tank is 20 gallons and yes i know about cycling. Im just thinking ahead at the minute to what fish i will put in when the tank is ready, im doing a fishless cycle at the mo.
