Re: Tank-cycle, Tank-cycle, I want my tank to tank-cycle (I hear Queen!)...

Alright everyone, I think that's enough flaming for now.

Neil, I'm glad you're just asking for advice on *future* stocking.
That wasn't clear in your last post.

Which fish you will find the most interesting will be a very personal
decision.  Everyone has their own favorites.  My suggestion is that
you go to your local stores, browse some books and decide on one fish
are your favorite.  Make sure it is not a very difficult species and
that you can provide the right environment for it.  Then build the
rest of the community (if it will be a community) to the compatibility
of that fish.  Do a bit of research on the fish and ask some questions
here about its needs and what might be compatible *before* you buy
anything.  Choosing your favorite fish might be tough and confusing -
it can take quite a bit of time and research.

Good luck,
Cris
