Starting a new 20 gallon

[roydesilva]

I'm thinking of starting a 20 gallon tank, can anyone suggest some good colourful fish for me,(I'm stuck on which fish to choose) I'd like some fish that would swim around in a school.... Any suggestions??

But smaller cheaper fish are cool too ... an angel fish or two would look great in it as well

White cloud mountain minnnows are about as cheap as they get, yet still really exciting, and best of all, they don't need a heater if you can keep your room temp stable. But if you have other fish in there with them (which I assume you will) then you will need a heater, so that doesn't mean anything. Try tetras, barbs, danios, etc. What is your tap ph? What test kit do you use?
