Noodle, your best bet is to have the pet store test your water- if you have basic(alkaline) water, then african cichlids would really thrive in there. They are colorful and active and easy for beginners. You definitely cannot just mix any fish together in there, because they will most likely kill each other if you mix aggressive species with peaceful species. Let them help you pick out your fish-trust me!
Most freshwater fish do fine in any tap water, because you can adjust the ph, but like I said, every time I have ever used chemicals to lower the ph in my tank, I have had fish die. I don't pay any attention to the ph in my tank and my fish are very healthy.
