Okay so I have a 330l tank at my gf I want a SMALL tank where I stay at moment as I love fish keeping now haha.

So I would like say a 25 to 30L tank what if any fish can I get in there if not what is the smallest tank for a gd few small fish I can keep? :) any ideas would be brill

Thnx zikofski
 
In 25-30L, there are a couple of species you could stock with, such as microrasbora, endlers, bettas, shrimp and snails. I know Dwarf Puffers also do well in smaller tanks, but I'm not sure about how they'd do in 25-30L. They're all I can think of, though there may be more I haven't thought of.

The AquaOne AquaStart 320 is a nice 28L IME, though there are various tanks of around the size you are looking for on the market :good:
 
in a tank of that size you could have fish like.
mosquito fish
dario dario
coryordra hastatus
coryordra pygmaeus
dwarf puffers
dwarf emerald rasboras
boraras brigittae
boraras maculatas
thread fin rainbow fish
betta splendens
betta imbellis
sparkling gourami
ember tetras
boraras merah
boraras nana
vietnamese cardinals
Heterandria formosa,
golden teddies,
black chins,
Characodon lateralis,
celestial pearl danios
 
Arcadia ARC 35 litre... Job done...

Fish...

Ember Tetra's
Micro Rasbora's
Sparkling Gourami's
Shrimps
Endlers
Betta
Badis
Celestial pearl Danio's/Galaxy Rasbora's

If going a different direction then a pair of shell dwelling Multifasciatus from Lake Tanganyika would be ideal. :D
 
I have an Arc that I had my fry in.
Nice looking tank, fits into any small space.
The light hinges tend to go weak though & rest on the lid, but keep an eye on it & it's fine
 
cheers guys i got 5 months to prepare and research on this new tank :), thnx for your input so far I'm sure i shall be asking more questions later haha :D, liking the arcadia 35L tank so far already light built in :) looks gd saves me allot of time :), tbh i am looking for something low maintenance i don't mind water changes weekly but just needs to be small in my tiny room :)
 
il be honest i have no idea :S i was thinking neon tetras as there the only thing i know thats small :) lol shrimp maybe i saw a small tank in LFS with like a million shrimp in serious over crowding going on there like 4 levels of srimp was quite funny at first :)

are there any tiny crabs out there? just a wired one came into my head hahaha
