Small Fish Species/names

[kylealastairlove]

hey there
so im currently in the journey of converting my tank to a fully planted one, im getting there slowly but surely, i just want to fill it with plants and let them grow wildly, so it has more of a natural overgrown kinda look to it, and i wanted to create a sense of scale when adding fish, so i wanted to keep the size of fish quite small. so it makes the planting of the tank look a lot bigger in comparison to the fish

any ideas of some small fish species, in my local pet shop, i seen they were selling lamp eye fish, they were really tiny but very nice looking however i know enough about them to keep them at the moment!

any ideas appreciated

I think cardinals look great in a heavily planted tank

i adore cardinals i would love to keep them! however i was thinking if i had a fully planted tank that there wouldn't be enough room to keep a big enough school of them to make an impact as my tank is 64L. well any idea how many i could house in there ?

didnt have a measurement on the packaging it came in except for the measurement in how much water it holds, but roughly the measurements are L: 2ft W: 11inch D: 1ft,3inch

I think you could get around 10-11 cardinals in there

i have a tank with dimensions similar to those and i have 12 happy neon tetras, so i bet that you could have 10 to 12 cardinals, but TBH i think that you can fit as many as 14 to 15 cardinals

 

[kylealastairlove]

yay that would be very nice well when i finish off planting my tank, i will consider stocking up with some cardinals
