Need Some Stocking Suggestions

[nofishinginmytank]

Ok thanks I am going to my local fish shop tomorrow and will have chat with my uncle about the guppies and any fish he could possibly order in Any fish you would recommend that I could have ordered in that would be happy in my tank? I would maybe like a few different species of fish if thats possible, thanks in advance

What are zebra danios like? Would they be ok in my tank? Has anyone kept them before? Do you know any other fish which would be alright in my tank?

Zebra danios are very zippy, they would not be okay in your tank as they should be kept in one that is 3-4ft long due to their high activity levels. They are more temperate than tropical and should be kept in groups of 6+.
 
Am I reading your previous comment right that you'd look into ordering fish in? Earlier you were saying you'd rather not do that so I just want to check. If you do then I'd definitely go with one of TLM's previous suggestions.
 
Another lovely micro fish are neon green rasbora (microdevario kubotai).
 
If you do lots of research and feel you're up to it then you could do 2-3 dwarf puffers, I think. They are best kept as the only fish in the tank though.

Yeah ok thanks Yeah I would look into ordering in if it really is the right fish for my tank, what is it that makes the dwarf puffers so diffucult to care for?

They need more than your typical flakes. You may want to start breeding snails for them and when not feeding that usually you want things like bloodworms.
HERE is a thread where I asked lots of Qs on them and had some good answers, if that helps anyway.
