OMG following on from another thread, I have just seen the most adorable little fish ever!
Ive got a huge vase, about 10L, could I keep a few in there, with some shrimp?
Im going to use a sand substrate with moss balls and a bit of bogwood.
2 X 50% water changes a week, no filter/heater.

Can I, please??!!!

First link I find on google for caring on the species says....

A pair/single male with multiple females can be housed and will breed in a tank with dimensions of only 12" x 8" x 8"/30cm x 20cm x 20cm/12.5 litres although water quality may become an issue unless strictly monitored. We think something measuring around 18" x 10" x 10"/45cm x 20cm x 20cm/29.5 litres or more is preferable for long-term care.

What is with all the duplicate threads at the moment?

not without a heater i wouldnt because the lowest temp these should be kept in is 24c which isnt really going to be achieved in the uk even in the summer at night its going to drop a lot lower
