Good fish for a 30 gallon?

[JaguarCichlid]

I have either a 25 gallon or 30 gallon tank at this moment. I measured it to be 25.some more numbers, but the person from the lfs told my mom it was 30 gallons. Whatever, not that much of a difference. Anyway, I don't have a job or anything, but whenever I keep asking my dad to get new fish he doesn't. Wanna know why? Because there's a freakin' Bala in there. Suprisingly, he's doing extremely good and not hitting the glass with his head. He's also accompanied by his two best friends who are Black Tetras. I was wondering, though, what fish would do nicely in a 30 gallon (I'll use this) together because since it's my B-Day, I can exchange these and get different one's. Please help! Thanks.

What are you looking for? Cichlids? Anatibids? Characins?

Gotta know what you like first. ;)

I was hoping you can tell me something in general. I don't want cichlids in this tank. Hopefully, I can get a Managuense or a Red Devil one day when I have a bigger tank, but until then, I'd like stuff in general. I asked this question a while ago and some said Gourami's, Cory Cats, etc., but I'd like more input.

Do you get it now?

would be easier if you can specify some info, like behaviour, how many of them you'd like to have in a tank, color, size......... blablaablablabl

Dude, a Bala Shark will easily out grow that tank. It can get to be a little over a foot long. They are very active and like tobe in groups. They should also be kept with large fast fish, like tin foils and silver dollars. I would definitly exchange it and get a school of something like tiger barbs. Also, a few cories and a small pleco-Clown- would be nice.

HTH
