We are starting an aquarium at school The teacher asked us to recommend what fish to put in the tank2007-11-24 23:41:15

Important factors to consider are which fish get along well with each other. I am sure there are other factors that need to be considered in selecting fish. Please include them in your answer.

Any type of "tetra" would be great. They are very hearty and do not require a lot of fuss. They also come in many different varieties, all of which get along just fine.

There should be one gallon of water per INCH of fish. If you use any Goldfish, you need 4 gallons of water per inch of goldfish. You don't say how large the tank is ? You should use only community fish .. they don't fight each other. Male guppies, Mollys .. PetSmart or PetCo can help you out. Good Luck! :)

angel fish and gold fish get along the best, adn they dont really need any special care just to get feed everyday and clean the tank every two to three weeks.

Tetras--they come in lots of colors, shapes and sizes (although most stay under 1.5 inches or so), and they are non-aggressive. They also are about the cheapest to buy. They are, however, schooling fish, so best to buy at least 4 of any one type. Also, danios (zebra, golden, etc.) are good, and about the same size as tetras. They are also a schooling fish. Both these types of fish are also incredibly hardy. You'll also want a couple of cory cats and a couple of Chinese algae eaters. Don't get plecos, they get pretty huge, plus they are major ugly.
