What fish can I have in X size tank?

[Allaquatica]

A basic list for fish and tanks:

(species only) fish should only be kept with there own kind, usually because of agression issues, these fish are not reccomended for beginners! they may be agressive or need special care that prevents them 'easily' being kept in a community tank. (S) (M) or (L) (small medium and large) is a general indication of how big the fish on the list grows IN RELATION TO THE TANK SHOWN, it may also be an indicator of how much room that fish needs in general eg kribs and rams are classed as 'large' in a 10 gal because they are quite agressive to each other, mollies and swords as M's in a 25 because they can squabble and need a lot of swimming space and so on, (ex-L) fish are usually best kept in pairs at the most.

Might want to be a little more specific for the new folk who might read this and try to put the ENTIRE list in a 10 gal tank (or other lists) heh.
