Hi! I have a question about some smaller fishes. I just bought my wife some tets and guppies along with some cherry barbs, and I also got some type of shark I forgot the name. Though the "shark" and cherry barbs are semi-aggressive, do you think they will leave the others alone? Oh and also does anyone know a really good filtration system that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
 
for a filter i think you can get an aqua clear for like 30 bucks
 
cherry barbs will do fine, id be wary about your labeo ("redtail shark") though. If the fish are absolutely priceless to you, id take him out. if not, id leave him in and just play it by year.

Any "power filter" you find online or at an lfs, that is rated for around the 20 gallon range, will serve your tank quite well. Don't bother with using the carbon though; all those filters need is a sponge-like object.
 
Id go with a AC150, there decently priced an great filters.
 
I would suggest the aquaclear as well....like p45 said, dont worry about using the carbon, its only good for removing medications.
