Choosing Freshwater Tropical Fish
There is an insanely large amount of tropical fish to choose from when browsing at the pet store, so how do you know which fish to choose?
Well your first choice should be to go with a community tank or a species tank.
A community tank consists of many different kinds of fish all living harmoniously. While a species tank will limit you to a few species of fish that get a long together (at least to some degree). If you have a small tank I strongly suggest you stick with the community fish, as they tend to be smaller and require less space.
Again refer to my other article about how much space fish need.
Keep in mind that it will be helpful to have some sort of algae eater or plecostomus in your tank that will help keep things clean.
