I can't wait to see pics!! I used to sit in front of my tank for hours and just watch all the interaction in that little world. Spending that much time watching gives you a baseline of what's normal. That makes it easier to notice when something's not quite right in the tank. Congrats!! ![cheer](https://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/cheer.gif)

I goofed up on the last guppy. The tail has a orange background and is a pale color on the rest of the body. I was going by memory and it was like 11:30 P.M. I'm going to post the pictures today, so keep looking!

Sorry, Dorothy. I'm not going to get a pleco. They are pretty, I will say that. But I'm pressed on space and I like the tank how it is. I don't want anymore fish in it. I got the glo fish, though. I almost got the neons, but changed my mind in the end.
And here are the fish!

Nice! I really like the little stripey guy in the last picture. You should at least get a small catfish. They really keep the bottom clean and that in turn contributes to the overall health of the tank.

What about the underground filter? I thought that helped keep the aquarium clean. By the way, what sucker fish could I get? I thought they all got really big, making me get a bigger tank.

Hi Puddin, Great selection of fish, I agree that you should get a snail (only one snail) or a sucker fish for the algae. I would go with a snail. They wont outgrow your tank. The filter pulls the waste under the gravel and traps it.
