What kind of fish can I put in a 36 gallon tank?

Asked: Prescydia Bernier Demers, Last Updated:

Swordtails and platys are good easy fish that are beautifull and lots of different varieties. Kuhli loaches are great if you like that kind of fish, just make sure your big fish don't terrorize them. Zebra danios are awesome if you have a good size school of them. Another idea is to stock african cichlids.
