Choosing the right community fish for your tank

A good community tank starts with fish that share similar needs. Most popular community species thrive at 72 to 78°F in a tank of 10 to 20 gallons or larger, and schooling species such as tetras, rasboras and danios should be kept in groups of six or more so they feel secure and show their best color. Mix swimming levels: surface dwellers like hatchetfish and gouramis, mid-water schoolers, and bottom feeders such as corydoras and small plecos.

Choose fish of similar size and temperament, keep fin nippers away from long-finned species, and stock slowly so your filter can keep up. Most community fish accept quality flake or micro pellets, with frozen foods a few times a week.
