By sucker fish do you mean chinese algae eater? if so then it will be fine. Marbles are not a good substrate by themselves because it is hard to clean arond them but if you put in an inch of sand or gravel and press the marbles 1/2 way down into them it will work. Take your time stocking the tank so that you do not get an ammonia spike or you can lose all the fish. It is better to get the filter and heater running before adding fish and remember to dechlorinate the water.
 
I have 1 guppy left, all the others died... :cry:
 
Go back and reread post #6 in this thread, follow the steps and have patience.
You have just learned one of the most important lesson of fish keeping, ie, if you don't take your time and do things in order your fish will die.
 
yo no wat fish you should do is a nice pair of doviis... lol woot woot thats wats gonna go in the 300 in a few years...no do some dwarf cichlids....
 
OK.... I will do that.
 
Right now I have a 12 gallon cold water tank with a few rosy red minnows in it that I was given by a teacher I work with.... long story..... they are actually quite pretty and are interesting to watch because they are so hyperactive. They are sold in pet stores as feeder fish, so they are about the most inexpensive fish you can start with. I say go find a pet store with a feeder fish tank that looks like the fish are active and get a few to start out with. They really are fun to watch, especially when it comes to feeding time.
