Hey guys! How's it going?

I have a 24 inch by 15 inch by 12 inch tank

I've scouted some pet stores and have narrowed down what I might want to stick in my tank to:

Guppies

Minnows - even if they do look like pugs

Tetras of some sort

Catfish - probably a plecostomus

Possibly those pale fish with no eyes. Dunno

Which one/s of these would be best for someone new to this, like me?

Is there a chance that any of the fish in my list would particularly dislike another type of fish in my list?

Which ones would have to live in a heated tank?

Would they all be able to live in a heated tank?

Could I feed them all the same thing?

Your tank is too small for a pleco. But a bristlenose or two would be good.

A plecostomus is totally unsuitable as it grows way too big for a tank that size.

The rest are all fine for beginners.

The pale fishes with no eyes are blind cave tetras.

I would not put guppies in with tetras as the tetras would tend to nibble the guppy tails.

Minnows can go in heated or unheated tanks but the rest are tropical. At this time of year though they would be fine inside without a heater (assuming it is around 18C).

All (except maybe the guppies) will go together.

They will all eat the same type of foods.

LOR, what's this about minnows looking like PUGS???????????????

I was thinking the exact same thing? they look nothing like pugs, pugs for one are dogs that walk on earth and breath air, along with pushed in faces, and i think they are rather cute.

Shae

The first time I saw a picture of a minnow I immediately thought it looked like a pug. I've seen them later and they're really quite cute. It must've been a bad photo.

I think I speak for alot of us when I say lets see this photo.
