Hey all
so, over the last few months, I have been, creating a nano aquarium. It's a 7-gallon tank/26-litre tank. It measures 40 cm long, 26 cm is deep and 25 cm tall.
my ph is 6.5-7.2 though it can change if i add driftwood or tannis but on average its around that
my KH is 220
my GH is 259 ppm or 14.5 degrees
now my origonal plan was to have either some nano fihs like chilli rasbora (Boraras brigittae) and/or a pair/trio of wild snake head bettas (betta channoides)
but... doing more research in to my local water chemisrty I know my water is hard and these are soft water fish so that plan is gone.
Doing reserch on hard water nano fish you always come up aginst the same guppies, endlers, mosiquto fish etc.
I was looking for something a little differnt
Japanese medaka rice fish (O. latipes) has always intrested me as a fish.
I know these fish are super hardy and can live in my water type.
So my question is tank size...
reserching them in japan they are often kept in 2-3 gallon patio ponds (which are often un filtered), as my tank is heavly filtered and has lots of live plants i want to worried about bioload, but then reseaching more some people liek aquarium co op, KG tropical and others say 5 gallon for a group of 3-5 but others say 10-20 gallon.
so what does everyone think
