Question
Hello, I need to find out about setting up two compatible collectons of fish and I am having trouble finding the information that I need, so I would be very grateful if you would be able to help me.
Tank 1: Five  species of tropical fish who will live happily together without causing harm or stress to each other, which are able to feed without competition and come from a similar region (Amazon).
Tank 2: Five species of marine fish who will live happily together without causing harm or stress to each other, which are able to feed without competition and come from a similar region (Barrier reef).

The fish in each tank should be a combination of surface, middle and bottom feeders to minimise competition at feeding times.

Answer
