My One And Only...

[BlossomsOfGreen]

This is my one and only tank. (hopefully getting a second for b-day I think its about 4g/15L? I will measure it up soon to find out.
I got the tank many years ago but it was only used for goldfish when i was 'less' experienced with fish.
Right now there are 5 neon tetras in it and i am planning on adding some real plants around the back and near the bridge,plus a dark background. It includes a filter and heater.

Also one question, i want to add a center piece fish and was thinking about a dwarf Gourami. Is this suitable? I heard they a quite alright on their own and shouldn't mind the small tetras. Thanks. Sorry if the pics are too big...

I would have to say anything under 10 gallons is not preferable for a dwarf gourami and even neons should have ideally 60+litres, although i am sure they will be absolutely fine as long as you stay on top of water changes and stay vigilant for any signs of trouble.
If you do indeed get a second tank and it is bigger (sorry if i sound pushy) i would recommend moving these fish over and using this one as a betta tank! Have you seen betta's? if not you should really go have a look because they are lovely fish (but should be kept on their own).

Thanks Yeah i have always been disappointed with the size of the tank but im happy that i at least have one The tanks where im from are quite expensive, more than what they should be. I actually used to have a betta in here with the neons, but im not sure i will again as i think my filters current is too strong (its on the lowest setting) and i cant get another one. Just have to save up for a large tank, plus the filters, heaters, etc.

Yes well, everyone starts out somewhere and if you stick to it in a few years you will be looking back and laughing im sure

OH and i forgot, you could maybe get some shrimp or snails - look into it

Thanks I'll have a look at those. I'm just wanting something different in my tank but i just don't know what because im restricted by the size, and also whats compatible with neons.

Like the simplicity of this tank and the clarity, when you have the background on it will look super......and better still with real plants......

Thank you very much. I'll post some new pics when i get the plants in.
