What sort of fish species are you into to start with? catfish, tetras, gouramis, bettas, livebearers etc...?

i dont mind as long as they are not tetras or gouramis.
already got a tank with them.
i was intrested with livebearers though.

Platys and guppys as the easiest livebearers to look after and will fit very well into your tank while swordtails or mollys might be a bit crampt for space as they are very active, if you wanted mollys or swordtails you could only fit say...1male and 3females tops really.
Oto's would alos be very happy in a tank of that size and enjoy being in groups like corys, i got some myself the other day and they are absolutely adorable and very sociable active little fish .
Queen loaches would also make another actractive peaceful addition to your new tank although they need stable water quality so you'd need to do a fishless cycle and then get the tank stocked and running for a couple of weeks before it'd be safe to have them, but they are lovely fish;
