completely agree with sirdarksol, research research research, better to do the research first and then have fish that you know you can keep (you'll get attached and your daughter will too!) rather than having a fish that you'll have to return. for the 10 gallon, a guideline to keep in mind but not a rule to live and die by is an inch of adult sized fish per gallon, so for example, if you want mollies, they get to about three inches, so i'd say you could get three of them.

although I agree research, do it here first then write it all down and bring the list with you because I know I wouldnt want to drive 45 min to see what they have then come back and ask for help then go back again...gas is cheap but not that cheap for 45 min LOL...I think some platies will be cool..some mickey mouse ones will keep the nemo orange black theme..unless shes a totally smart 3 year old, maybe she wont notice the difference? goodluck in whatever you decide tina!!

lol i missed that it was 45 minutes away! but yeah, research online is pretty easy, and of course you have fishlore for advice and help along the way!

That's always my first suggestion, Shawnie; do research before you go.
It sounded like a trip was being made to the petstore to see what they had, and I wanted to caution against buying on impulse.

I agree!!! we have all been the "impulse" buyers at one time or another im sure...its not fun is it....
