You could try a boitope tank like let's say South american fish or you sould try predatory fish like the leaf fishj which only gets l9ike 4 in.  :-/ :) What i do when i have a new fish tank is sometimes i look through my fish book for about 5 minutes and i usually find something this method hasn't let me down  ;D Nah, i really don't do that but, that is an idea ;D

I agree with that!

I wouldn't put discus in there either...What do you have in your comunity?

Rainbows would be really nice in that tank, dwarf neon ranbows are just one type...check them out anyways :)  
An asian tank with a lot of active fish looks great. (Clown loaches,tiger barbs, red tail black shark ect.)

I don't know anything about puffers, we don't have them here, but i've heard good things, and they're pretty oddball :)

my community tank just got changed around..it had zebra danios, black widow tetras, beunos aries tetras, and corys. but the zebras got given away last night and my small guppy tank got the tetras and the guppies from that tank got puut in the 20 gallon. i went to a show in Youngstown Ohio. I bought 2 bags of purple moscow guppies and a pair of pastel guppies to go along with my blue grass guppies and snake skin guppies. i had a bad misshap happen when i went away for a 2 day trip. i lost some fish ( all my wifes male guppies and a few of my cichlids) so i had to get some replacements for her. I would like to wait on the discus. I dont trust myself with that delicate of a fish yet. But that is a fish I would like to get in the future.

I was at the one on Sunday. IT was youngstowns fall show/auction. It was a really good show. i just wish i would have had my 40 up and running so I could have got some fish for me at the auction. That was my first big show that I have went to. I am getting ready to gear up for our show coming up in Oct. for the GPASI. If you are gonna be near pittsburgh in october Let me know. maybe we could hook up for the show....I am gonna enter some fish in the show i think....
