I know these forums are for saltwater fish, but I couldn't find a good freshwater fish site, and I was hoping you guys would help me out. My little sister wanted some fish for a newly bought 5 gallon bow shaped fish tank. My mom took her to the LPS and bought her 2 jack dempsies because they are hardy fish. Well, the one beat the begesus out of the other and grew much faster, and we figured the one died and my mom scooped it out. Two months later, my old sister and I cleaned the tank out because it was black with dirt (ughh). Well, I found 2 fish, one without fins that was remarkably still vaguely alive. So, I took the one that was almost dead and set up a make-shift 2.5g tank up in my room to help it grow to size and back to health. The tank was old and had no light, so I went out and spent like $120 on a 10g nice tank w/ everything. So now I have a beautiful 10g freshwater tank, and all that is in it is a Jack Dempsey. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for what to put in with it. The tank is a 10g standarrd size with good lighting and a pretty nice hang on silient filter with a 25W(I think)heater. I was leaning towards a smaller freshwater puffer, but wasn't sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Once again, sorry for the freshwater question.
