Hello

I want to have a setup af fish that get along well together can you please tell me what i can put in my tank.

Thank-You

Answer
Hi Jim;

It really depends on several factors;

What size tank do you have?
What kind of filtration?
Does it have a heater?

There are many, many other variables such as;

Do you like smaller fish?
Do you like larger fish?
Do you want fish that school together?
Do you prefer fish that are loners?
Do you like certain colors?
Are you experienced in keeping any kind of fish?
etc......

Look at the following web pages for possible suggestions and I can give you additional info on the compatibility of your choices;
