Hi, i was told that some fish dont like each other, so they would fight, incedently possibly leaving in one or two or more of the fish being killed. I do not want this to happen. I have a 3 foot tank by 15 inches and about 20 high. I am starting from scratch so i am going to buy all the equip and set up the tank. Should i leave the tank empty (with water, no fish) for 2 weeks before i put fish in or can i leave it a week? Also, i love fish that are like these http://www.menalto.com/albums/Monter...pical_Fish.jpg

What type of fish would you reccomend me to have? I will also have a procostimous in the tank (the algy eater)

btw sorry for my spelling, i am dysletic

thankyou

Welcome to FishLore!* It's great to have you with us!* That picture in the link you posted is a beautiful tank.* However, it is saltwater.* Are you planning on a saltwater tank?* Those tanks are much more complicated and expensive.* My suggestion would be to start with a freshwater tank where there are many fish just as colorful as the saltwater fish, with less of an investment.* Freshwater tanks also have much more choices on plants for the tank than saltwater tanks do.*

Welcome to FishLore!!!! don't worry about the spelling, We just blame it on Dino
If you have a plecostomous in the tank right now then its freshwater.
Your tank computes to about 39 or 40 gallons.

Angels would be beautiful also!!
