Good Beginner Fish?

Dwarf Gourami are nice also.
 
Cories are always fun to watch. Just make sure that you get at the very least three of them since they like to be kept in groups. They are very social little creatures and will play better togather that way. I also think some colorful platys will work. There are a lot to choose from.They swim all over the tank and are very hardy fish so you will really like them.

scissortail rasboras are very hardy but not that exciting , i've got some i had from the beginning , survived ich and my inexperienced fishy cycling and a few other issues . stay around the middle of the tank .
