Some popular types of fish, for example angel fish, neon tetras and fancy guppies, can severely restrict your choices of tankmates, since they are no match for more aggressive or even more active companions.
Many fish with impressive coloration come that way naturally, such as Neon, Black Neon, Cardinal, and Glolite Tetras, any of the Alunocara "Peacock" Cichlids, Guppies, Discus, many Rainbowfish, many Killis, and Goldfish and Koi.
