Old School Fish

[Demonknight]

As we have fun on another thread asking for top ten, I thought this would make a good question...top ten old school fish that all fish stores should have.

1. guppies (too many versions to list one or two)
2. sword tails (prefer the velvet wag, but the lyre tail looks nice as well)
3. mollies (never had one, but they have always been there)
4. gourami (dwarf and snakeskin are my fav 2)
5. tetras (neons, black skirt and hatchet are personal favs)
6. catfish (bristle nose, otos and whiptails for me)
7. inverts (shrimp and escargot anyone)
8. danios (again, don't remember having any)
8. african cichlids (i have never seen a pet store without them)
9. bettas (no tiny cups in my store thanks)
10. south american cichlids (angels rule the tanks)

your picks? favs?

When you say south american cichlids you are literally talking about at least 2-300 different fish. With africans your talking about at least 500+. Kinda hard for a single store to carry all of them XD
