New Tank.

Question
Just so you know..I have read about the nitroget cycle and I am attempting to do it all by the book. I'm actually just looking for ideas for a good mix of fish in my tank. I've got a 10 gallon. And right now I'm breaking in the tank with 3 white clouds. Any ideas?  

Answer
Since its a new tank I'd start with some hardy fish(like the clouds)

Here are some choices

Mollys-really cool, they can have fresh Or salt water
Plattys-bassic idea of a fish
Swordtails-platty with a long tail
Guppies-can be fancy or plain
gouramis-they can be a bit nippy

Hope it helps,
Paul
