Both AquaClear and Marineland are good filters. I think AquaClear has better reviews. I have a Marineland Bio-wheel and eventually the wheel will stop spinning. I had to file down the 2 nodes at the ends of the bio-wheel to make it thinner to keep it continously spinning, but other than that minor alteration, the filter works very well. Ive had it for about 10 months so far.

The fish you can introduce is up to you. Remember there are 2 kinds, cold-water and tropical. They have different water temperature requirements so get one or the other. Also try to keep the temperaments the same to avoid injuries.
