It's freshwater heated, im starting off today with some tetra's until the tank is cycled, as my friend who works at my local petshop says that would be fine. However i was dissapointed to learn i could not put fish such as discuss or parrot fish together as they wouldn't get on. I would like a community tank so my question is...what are some big (ish) bright coloured or interesting fish i could put in that would get along? I saw fish such as gouramis which looked lovely, but they were the most colourful of all the ones i saw.
Here is what i'm thinking
2xGhost knife fish
2xSilver sharks
3xGouramis
6xtetras
2xOther fish
2xother fish
Any suggestions?
Links would be really useful,
Thanks
Sluggis i hope youre joking :S
Clown fish are for marine tanks, not freshwater ones.

Anyway to everyone else thanks for the answers, i should have specified my tank size.
I didn't realise the silver sharks grew so big. but the list WAS ONLY A ROUGH IDEA lol. I will go back to the pet shop and have a chat with my friend.
