Ahhh So excited I am getting a new 50 gallon tank

Now I need help before I get it up and running.

I want a combination of the brightest most colorful active tropical and interesting fish I can put in there. In your answer it would be very helpful if you could put several possible combinations. I will need some bottom feeders definitely as well as top and middle swimming fish. I just need some great combinations of fish to put in this tank and how many of each I can put in I dont just want one or two kinds I want lots haha help

That decision is all up to you but a couple of things should be noted when setting up this tank. Start off with a couple of hardy fish species such as platies mollies or gouramis. Thenfor your next thing to decide on which fish you want by seeing if they will be peaceful together and if they can tolerate the same water conditions. To decide this you could go to aquahobby.com liveaquaria.com or aqualand pets plus.com. These websites have information on various fish species.

tiger barbs. theres regular striped ones. theres orange albino ones. and theres green ones. all will school together and theyre VERY active
