[conks]

Hi,

I am new to fish.

I have a Bi-orb and would like advice on whatthe best large, colourful tropical and easy to keep Fish are - I would like to keep no more than 5, preferably of different sorts.

Thanks

do you mean in the biorb?

if so there are no large fish you can keep in it

plus most fish dont do being alone very well they like friends

That thing is only 8 gallons...

And since it doesn't come with a heater (did you buy one seperatly)

There isn't much you can do with it.

I would say a school of white clouds and like an afd or two at the bottom....

Nothing big would work in that tank

neons? cherry barbs?

You could get a betta. They're not that big but they sure are colorful

Those things in my opinion are a bit of a rip-off.

You can get a better deal for cheaper. Tooday I saw a tank by pets at home, it has everything, and it was 13 gallons, had a light too....if you oculd take your biorb back, you could get a better offer, then in the you could probably have a few guppies and platies, they are sooo cute!!
