i want a little really aggressive fish for my 15 gallon that is cycling right now...

but im new to the aquarium bidness so i dont know what there is?is 15 gallons too small for any fish or what?

you have 3 options... blue convicts, pink convicts, or one of each

choose wisely my son....

But seriously this is the only aggressive cichlid that stays small enough to be housed in 15 gallons... that would make a great breeding tank actually.

You can go with a few Exodon paradoxus (Buck-tooth Tetras). However, they will need more space as they mature. They are best kept in a shoal of 12+, since they will nip atone another in a small shaol. You can try it, for now. I have 25 of them in a 55. If you only get a few of them, you should consider adding plenty of plants. This is just one option.

You should get some guppies. there small enough and mean enough.

just add a group of male bettas togeather!

By the way, no metter what your lfs says you can not have : oscars, terrors, red devils, Jack dempsy's, or any other of the frequently mantioned fish on this board. They will tell you its okay, but it is not!

Why not tiger barbs. They are pretty aggresive. Ever put a few tiger barbs in the same tank with another fish with long fins(male betta, Angels) I made the mistake once of putting five tiger barbs in with a male betta. That male betta was so happy when I put him back in his tiny little bowl.

Tiger barbs like to stay in groups of 5+. I would put maybe 6-7 in a fifteen gallon tank.
