[kylealastairlove]

whats everybody's favorite community fish ? looking for some schooling fish and some bottom dwelling fish and/or 1 or 2 centre piece fish
as im getting a bit bored of my current stock!

 

[mattyeatsmatts]

Ember tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, Cardinals.

As for centrepieces you could go for some Apistos

Cardinals can be a great looking fish, especially if you feed them a good mix of foods.

Community fish for me are Platys but schools are Cardinal Tetras and the bottom feeder a Hillsteam Loach

I seem to be saying this a lot recently, but from how far away will you be viewing the tank?

Some fish, like glowlight danios and emerald rasboras are best viewed from close up, whereas things like apistos and ember tetras work from further away.

the tank is kind of opposite my bed about 4 or 5 feet away from the bed

dg or gbr for centre piece sterba cory for botton

 

[pablothebetta]

A group of cardinals, pygmy cories and a/some 'centrepiece' fish?

 

[kylealastairlove]

cardinals and corys sound good to me, i have a betta that could be my centre piece fish if it would be suitable to keep with cardinals and corys ?

Remember not to stock as if it is a 64 litre. The substrate, filter (if internal), heater and ornaments will reduce the volume significantly. When I had to fill my 70 litre, I think I roughly calculated it out to be closer to 60 litres due to displacement.

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

Species only tank of one fo the three mini Corydoras (pygmeus; hastatus; habrosus), group of 10 that will use the whole tank and perhaps breed, job done.

Whatever you choose, you are looking at ~30cm of adult sized small fish.
