You've written 67L stocking as your header, but according to the ebay description, the tank holds 48 litres.

Its an odd shape. I'd suggest you edit the title as not everyone will look as closely as arobinson and I.

As for digging fish...in all honesty I've not come across many that actively dig. Possibly something like a peacock goby might be an idea.

Not sure I'm keen on the idea of digging fish...you'd never see them.

I'd go for a 6 corys (panda or pygmy), a gourami and a shoal of something small but nice - neon's, embers or harlequin rasboras.

ill edit the title i ment bigger fish not digger sorry got shocking spelling

Ah. You're going to struggle in a tank of that size, the biggest I would go for would be a honey gourami. Properly laid out though - central bogwood spiral with plants surrounding or even entwining this, light gravel/sand or black gravel - and a decent sized shoal with a pretty gourami and a few corys would look lovely.

ok i dont want anythink big big just not little tetras and things
how many honey gouramis and corys do you think i could have

spectrum · May 5, 2009

Well i have a 40 litre with 3 albino corys
i am considering a pair of something nice, rams/gouramis
but once i have bought those i will be at MAX stock, maybe a bit over.
Good Luck

Have you bid on the tank??

Would be a good little buy at a decent price, just been in pets at home this morning to get some melafix and noticed they sell this tank for £70 without a stand and it is 48 litres, so if it doesnt go too high it would make a good small community tank or fry tank
