If you're just starting your tank, get fish that are hardy. My tank's first inhabitants were and still are albino tiger barbs. After about 2 months or so, you may add other fish. The reason you need hardy fish is solely because of the cycle that starts when you add your first fish. Keep in mind that the water will cloud after a few days, but that is temporary. Not all fish can adjust to the rising and falling pH, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, etc. Ask your local pet store about hardy fish for your tank. Neon tetras are good, but only after the tank is established. Good luck!
