    Hi guys. When setting up a new tank as many of us do, what is the one fish you have to get or, what is the first fish that comes to mind. I would say for me neons but it will be interesting to know.

    That's a really interesting question. I'm going to have to think about it a bit...

    That's a hard question.

    But: What's the one fish you can't do with out? Is easy, my Black Ghost Knife.

    This is an easy question for me. It has to be a betta - the varieties and colours you get are truly fantastic

    I have to say my downfall is siamese fighters. I went to a LFS this weekend, they just did a refit and expansion to their shop and they had shelves filled with siamese fighters. I wasnt going to get one, I ended up getting one with a small 4L tank - so daily water changes for me but I dont mind. Plus my excuse was he is for my desk at the office :p
