Peaceful community fish

No aggression flags on file — still pair-check volume, water chemistry, and group size.

Every fish here lacks an aggressive, semi-aggressive, or predatory flag. That is one screen out of about five. Wrong volume, wrong pH band, or a half-stocked school will still make two "peaceful" species hide or stop eating. Treat this as a shortlist, then pair-check anything that will share the same glass.

103 species are rated peaceful temperament.

Keeper decision notes

"Peaceful" is one temperament line, not a finished stocking plan. Two peaceful fish from different continents can still fight the same water chemistry, and two peaceful fish in a too-small tank will still hassle each other for territory. Read temperament, water, and group rules on each profile before you mix anything from this list.

Every row is a real profile. The list moves when a record changes. Shortlist names, then verify litres, water, and mates on each profile before you buy.

How should I use this peaceful list?
Shortlist names that match your litres and water type, then run pair checks. Do not treat the list as a finished community shopping cart.
