Before you choose from this collection
This page brings together the peaceful, sociable species that live happily side by side in a mixed community aquarium. Everything listed is live stock held in our own system, dispatched with a licensed live-animal courier under our live arrival guarantee.
A good community tank layers fish across the levels: shoaling tetras, rasboras and danios in mid-water, corydoras and loaches along the bottom, a gourami or dwarf cichlid as a centrepiece, and livebearers throughout. The art is choosing species with compatible size, temperament and water needs.
Read the species care guides linked below before ordering. The commonest community mistakes are mixing fin-nippers with long-finned fish, adding a species that outgrows or eats the others, and understocking shoaling fish so they turn nervous or nippy.

Frequently asked questions
Peaceful temperament, a similar adult size to its tank mates, and compatible water requirements. The best community fish — most tetras, rasboras, danios, corydoras, platies, honey gouramis — are non-aggressive, stay modestly sized and enjoy the same warm, neutral-ish water. Match those three traits and fish coexist calmly.
Aggressive or predatory species (most large cichlids, larger catfish), notorious fin-nippers kept in small numbers (tiger barbs, serpae tetras), and anything that grows big enough to eat its tank mates. Also avoid mixing fish with clashing water needs, like hard-water African cichlids with soft-water tetras.
Think in three layers. Bottom: corydoras, loaches or a bristlenose pleco. Middle: shoals of tetras, rasboras or danios. Top: hatchetfish, gouramis or livebearers that favour the upper water. Spreading fish across levels uses the whole tank, reduces competition and looks far more natural.
Most community species start at about £2-£12 each depending on the fish, with centrepiece species more. A full community can be stocked affordably over a few weeks. Prices on this page are live: what you see is what's in stock today.
Quality over variety. A few species kept in proper numbers — say three shoals of eight plus a centrepiece and a bottom group — looks better and behaves more naturally than one or two of a dozen different fish. Shoaling fish especially need company of their own kind to thrive.
Yes. Community fish post reliably in oxygen-charged bags inside a polystyrene-insulated box with a winter heat pack, sent midweek by a licensed live-animal courier. Wednesday dispatch avoids the weekend, and our photo-proof live arrival guarantee covers every order.
