You should go with a group of schooling fish, some barbs, maybe some tetra (7-8). 3 nerite or mystery snails (won't reproduce) in freshwater, and 2 loach's

They shod be fine for now but you may have to upgrade your tank as the grow quite big.

Honestly that was a bad idea. Generally the rts need a lot of space to zoom, like a racetrack. An will pick on other fish in your tank. Also it is recommended to only have one rts per tank because they are highly territorial.

The guy in the shop recommend them ! What other fish can I put with these or am I better taking them back?.

Personally I would take the sharks back. Only because they will need To be rehomed soon. I have a rainbow shark in my 29 gal. He doesn't pick on other fish enough for me to regime him yet. But I do have a 55g waiting for him and my bichir

Hi I have taken one back and exchange it for balloon Molly's x3 .the sales girl sound very knowledgable .and his a keeper of fish she used to have a rts.

Also, pg's tend to get aggressive with tank mates if the tank is too small. I still recommend rehoming the shark! Good luck on your tank!

first of all do you have a test kit? your tank isn't cycled and the ammonia/nitrite levels are going to be harmful to your fish. you will need to get a test kit, check levels daily and do water changes as needed. aquarium advice has a great article on this http://www.aquariumadvice.com/i-just-learned-about-cycling-but-i-already-have-fish-what-now/
