So I haven't had a fish in almost 10 years, but have recently been interested in getting some lately. I've narrowed myself down to a 10 gallon tank because of space requirements(though I am open to any suggestions of something that is slightly bigger if anyone has any), and I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of fish to get. Part of me likes the idea of some neon tetras, but I know those require schools, and having 5 or 6 tetras in a 10 gallon tank would leave me no room at all to add anything in the future.
So I guess my overall question for this, is what kinds of fish can I get that would give me a nice variety of different looking fish while still being able to live comfortably together? As I mentioned too, I'm open on suggestions for something slightly bigger, maybe like a 15 gallon tank that would give me a little extra space(while hopefully not being too expensive as well). I thank you in advance, and I'm really looking forward to starting this "journey" if you could call it that lol.
