Clueless about what fish to put in...

Do you have kids? If so I would recommend the ghost shrimp; my son watches them for hours. If not read on.

I personally like my black ghost knife fish:

The draw back is that he's nocturnal. But if you dark spaces without caves he can be viewable at all times.

Check this link out as well for additional information on the black ghost knife as well as almost every fish out there.


Good luck

I personally like the mollies and platies because you can get a variety of colors. Also if you keep them, keep 1 male to atleast 3 females and if the conditions are right they will reproduce giving you babies (fry). I have different types of mollies, the sword and the lyre fin, they will interbreed so you never know whether the fry will be sword or lyre, but that's part of the waiting

The platies have a shorter body but are just as pretty in colors as the molies.

Just my two cents worth.
