What kinds of fishes should I get?

Question

I have a 50 gallon fish tank and I have plenty of props to fill it with. What kind(s) of fish(es) should I get? I currently have two tetras (don't know which species) and a dwarf gourami. All of 'em are roughly 1" to 1.5" long. I was thinking of gettin a bala shark but i read they grow over a foot long...

Answer 1

the plural of fish is fish... not fishes something tropical.. they are pretty but idk if they can go in the tank with your tetras because idk what they are

Answer 2

Who myriad of community fish you could house in this environment. Think danios, resboas, tetras and the like. Outside of cory's I'd avoid catfish species (which the silver sharks listed below are) and semi-aggressive (like the Bala shark). Your Gourami is going to be the most aggressive in the tank, so think on the lines of the smaller community. I say this because with the length of your tank (48 inches or so most likely), you could house small schools of them and enjoy watching them swim the length of your tank back and forth in a school. Good luck.

Answer 3

well maybe a angelfish or guppies

Answer 4

Well I live in a small town, and my local pet shop has things called small silver sharks, they are exactly like bala sharks, but way smaller, maybe that would be nice, I am thinking of getting one for my community tank! LoL. But don't take my advice because silver sharks may even eat tetras, not sure :)(

Answer 5

Try not getting BETA fish because they really fight rough and they can probably kill your other fish........And try getting the Angel Fish I heard they're the most popular fish there is

Answer 6

first of all, get more tetras, they like to be in groups of 6 or more. Then, you could get some cory cats, these like to be in groups, or danios, or maybe different kinds of tetras. It's not a good idea to get very large fish because they might eat your tetras. You could also try livebearers: guppies, endlers, or platies. Don't get mollies because they need a slightly brackish environment or else they will get sick.
