well my tank is cycling but ive been starting to think about what fishies i want
the tank is unplanted and will stay that way until i get some proper lighting, pH i THINK is around 7.3-7.6(color coding on tests can be abit tricky), temp is 26-28°C

a peaceful community tank would be nice

i know ill be getting some black molly's as i like their appearance
maybe some platy's, i like their vibrant orange colour
zebra danio's perhaps, they look kinda cute
i really want some panda cory's but havnt been able to find any so far in stores, will keep looking

so if anyone has some idea's for a 15g then post away, i'm open to suggestions

thanks!

has a pretty good list of tank mates that are compatible
also tank sizes that are recommended too
select freshwater then elmers aquarium handbook
there are then the different options

i wanted a small peaceful community and used this list as a guide at the shop
 
How did you cycle the tank?

Cories make good bottom dwellers in smaller tanks. For a 15 gallon get 4 of them. Platies are a good choice, hardy and colourful. But they will breed very easily so be prepared for that. But if you are already adding mollies then I would be careful of adding too much else. A 15 gallon tank really can't hold too many fish.
 
I suppose I am kinda boring, I like my Neon Tetras. I know everyone and their brother have them, but I like them and my African Dwarf Frogs.
