i was thinking of putting either rainbow fish/ gouramis/ sharks/ or ghostknife fish in my 18 gal tank.
any helpful hints on these fish or opionons on which ones would be better in that size tank.
Thanks, J

You could maybe get two gouramis or something, but they will fight... none of those is really suited to the proper lifestyle in an 18-gallon... sorry. Maybe you can do what I did and get a crawfish... 18 would be plenty for one of those and some Rosie Red minnows for him to munch on.

ya rainbows shraks and especially a ghost knife (min 50 gal) arent great
I dont think there is anything wrong with a gourami
my sister has 1 opaline gourami in a 20 gallon

it would be even better with live plants
and they arent hard to take care of, just need money put into them
things like:
-new light (2wpg)
-maybe a new substrate of some liquid or ground fertilizers
-and will have to deal with some algae :@
