I have tried african cichlids, but the tank was too small and they mostly just killed each other. I have the filter, heater, air pump, and everything i need, it has been running for a few days, temp at 78 F. I'm looking for some active fish that don't get too large, maybe small enough so i can have 4-6 of them. I don't want community fish like mollies or guppies. Any suggestions?

I like Parrot fish. They are a little aggressive so you can't put guppies or neons in there but they are very intelligent looking and they learn that when you come to the tank you are going to feed them and they will swim up to meet you.

Community fish like guppies or platties (they will breed and give birth to live babies as apposed to lay eggs) neon tetras, they are cool because they swim in a school usually 8-10 look amazing. I also like fish called silver dollars, and angel fish...all these fish get along well and go well with mollies too. You can even get some community "sharks".

I even have continually needed tiger barbs too, yet I never had the middle because of the fact I heard they have been semi-aggressive. yet they arrive in numerous hues. in case you have multiple vegetation (faux or real) to interrupt up the territories and not too many barbs, you have got a barb committed tank. i could merely try it, now that i think of approximately it. maybe 4 tiger barbs and a Mini crab with 3 or 4 secret snail for algae cleanup. That way tiger barbs must be the only fish yet no longer the only farm animals. What do you think of?
