Something that isn't too expensive, not too hard to find at a fish store and isn't too hard to keep :D:D

I was thinking of an oscar but I don't think I can add anything else without some kind of fighting/overcrowding...

Maybe some angelfish? Or maybe a combination of different fish :D

Ty :D
 
Snails, shrimps and some mini fish. They're stunning together.:D
 
Go with Dwarf Cichlids:
Blue German Ram
Bolivian Ram
Balloon Ram
Angelfish
Curvicep
Latecara Dorsiger (Spelling)
Kribenisis (Spelling Again)

Rare Dwarf Cichlids:
Cockatoo Cichlid
Banded Cichlid
Panda Cichlid
Three Striped Cichlid
Striped Cichlid
Black Striped Cichlid
Red Tail Cichlid

If you type in "Dwarf Cichlids" on Google and click on images you will see all of these Cichlids Noted Above. Dwarf Cichlids will be Cichlids So Becareful, I would choose only about 4 different dwarfs and others tetras.
 
Thanks both :D
I think I'll try dwarf cichlids and snails, I have an apple snail right now and they have genders so that's good :D
 
Be careful with dwarf cichlids. They are likely to pick on the apple snails. Nerites would be a better choice. All snails need calcium though to prevent shell erosion.

I guess I'll leave my snail in my 10 gallon :(

If I were to get two angelfish, what other 2 dwarf cichlids would you recommend(or which 2 would be the easiest to keep if they're all good)? :D Just quickly googling pics of them now, guna read about them tomorrow :O

How should their tank be decorated? I was reading about oscars, only decided to try some smaller cichlids 3 hours ago :grinno:
 
Get creative! Plants, caves.
They like to each have territory tho
