Smile New to the hobby

Hello all Im new to the hobby, but always liked to help my dad with his fish tanks, so said to myself why dont I start mine, well now he doesnt have time to talk anymore, so I was wondering if I could get a few pointers from people on here.

I have had my freshwater tank since 25th of Dec. 2006 and wife put a couple of fish in there and they are mollies and Non- aggressive fish, I was wondering if anyone knew any good looking, bright, colorful fish that are non aggressive. Let me know. Thanks

I don't know squat about freshwater so someone else will have to come along and help you.

I just wanted to say, "Welcome to 3REEF!!!"

Welcome.
Tetra's and Rainbow's are the way to go.
It can be hard to find some of the cool rainbows so do a search.
You can also purchase them at AquaBid.com - Sell or buy aquarium related equipment and fish in an auction format! A site just like ebay.

Mac0317 it is a pleasure to have you here- as far as peaceful and colorful freshwater fish you can't beat Discus. Here is a link to a page which will give you an idea of just how beautiful these fish are:
