I am planning on buying a 20-30 gallon aquarium. Anyone have any suggestions on neat freshwater community?

I was also thinking maybe one Albino shark, one red-finned shark, 1 plecomas, 1 Kuhli Loach, and maybe some corys.

At first I was thinking Dwarf Pufferfish but they apparently are not too good as a community fish.

I keep thinking of one neat idea and having someone else give me another one so I will take all suggestions of neat community tanks before I jump into anything to fast.

if you get a common pleco it will get too big.
red tailed sharks IIRC can get agressive, same with the albino.
kuhlis need to be in a school and i wouldnt recommend a tank with corys and kuhlis with a small foot print like that.

if its a 20 you could do a dwarf gourami, with a school of cardinal tetras, and a school of 6ish smaller corys.

if its the 30 you could do pretty much the same thing, but with bigger tertas like bloodfin, rummynose, black neon tetras, von rio flame tetras, you get the picture!

(you may get more responses if your text wasnt so hard to read as well)

Rasbora, tetra's, corys, neon rainbowfish.......what looks nice is big schools of 2 or 3 species instead of 10 small schools of a bunch of fish mixed together. (IMO)

Just another agreement. Less fish varieties, larger schools.
