Stock Suggestions?

[EllenMarie]

I have been looking into getting a freshwater tank for a while now, and have finally decided to go for it! I will be purchasing a 5.5 gallon Aquarium, so space is quite limited, as I will be upgrading to a larger tank later on. Does anybody have any ideas for stock? I really like the neon tetras and/or cardinal tetras.

Thanks!
Ellen


Edit:
After visiting my local fish distibutor, I ended up buying a 10 gal. The Bigger, the better!


I Really liked the neon Tetras, But the employee suggested to NOt get a school of them, because they are delicate. Should I still go for it? I am going with the fishless cycle, so there shouldn't be too much room for error...

I was thinking the same- The only hold-back was that Betta fish are somewhat aggressive, which makes me hesitant.
I've heard of many people putting Betta fish in a community tank and being fine, but I've also heard the opposite. Betta fish are VERY beautiful though, I have to admit.

Thanks!

A Betta (as suggested) and a couple of ottos would be nice

Yes that would, or maybe some Endlers Livebearers.
