What Fish Should I Get?

The Fifty-Million Dollar Unanswerable Question

There are thousands of fish available on the market today, resulting in tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of possible combinations. To list all the possibilities, or even a reasonable percentage of them would be impractical, and, in fact, to my knowledge, has never been done or even attempted. Unfortunately, it is not even practical to try to list them, because I could easily list hundreds of possibilities without ever mentioning a fish that you find interesting and that is available in your area.

Instead, I recommend that you visit your local pet shops and pick up a couple of books. The books will frequently have some information on several varieties of fish, as well as their care requirements. You can also look through the tanks at the shop and see what fish they have in stock. If you see something interesting, ask the employees about its care requirements and compatibility.

If you have questions about the compatibility of specific fish, feel free to contact me about those particular fish.

Generally speaking, if fish have similar care requirements, are of similar size, and have similar temperaments, they are likely to be compatible. However, this is not always the case.
