WOW it is amazing how addicting this aquarium thing can be. About a month ago I got a 5 gal Fluval Chi for on my desk. I did some reading on stocking and such and put in a Beta a snail and a few ghost shrimp.
The kids loved it.... and were constantly bugging my while I worked. SOOOOOO I got them each a small tank for their rooms.
Two weeks later I bought a 55 gal complete from Craigslist and have been workin on a community tank.

Thanks to all whose posts I have read. This is a GREAT resourse for NOOBS.

Ok then! It's official. My six snails are now all called Gary.

Have you already got the fish on your list or is that what you are considering getting? I'd research further the black skirts, serpae and tiger barbs. They probably prefer larger groups and the serpaes and tiger barbs can be nippy and can have aggression issues. I'm not familiar with rainbow sharks, but I see "shark" and "neon tetra" and I think "diner" and "dinner". I'd check into the shark's eating habits and whether any of your peaceful fish will end up dinner. A bigger group of cories might be better. Swordtails and platies can interbreed - what sexes have you got? You might end up with babies.

People have been saying for years that I'm just a little squiarlly.......times like these I know they are right!!!! Regarding the stocking have you gone to Aqadvisor site yet I have found it to be very helpful..once you plug in your tank size and filter you can add and subtract fish..its pretty nifty.... good luck
