It all depends on what you want your set up to be. Tell us what your going for and the members in this forum are more than happy to help you. Start off on the article that SM posted.

i only have a 10 gallon tank how many fish can go into it.

[FishinInTheDark]

Small tanks can be volatile at first, so fewer fish are better. The rule of thumb for beginners is 1 inch of (mature) fish per four gallons. That gives you about 2.5 inches of fully grown fish. You could do two small ones or one medium. Our sponsor liveaquaria.com has a nice list of beginners' fish that you could choose from, but you have to be aware of what kind of tank you want. There are fish that have to be kept singly, fish that can't be kept with invertebrates, and lots of docile community fish.

it depends on what kind of fish. with that size of a tank you can put 2 clownfish.
