What Small Mid Water Fish Do I Get.

[SeanTrollope]

i am having trouble deciding on what midwater fish to get for my small fishtank.

 

[Wills]

How small is the tank and what other fish do you have? Also what is your water like - ph, hard or soft etc etc?

it is a 30L tank with a few guppies and catfish. it has a fine gravel

 

[Wills]

How many Guppies and how many Catfish? Also what species of Catfish.
 
To be honest in a 30 liter tank you may already be fully stocked

4 guppies and 1 peppered corydorascatfish although i want to get 3 more catfish

 

[Wills]

30 liters is about 8 gallons, if you added the 3 catfish that would be about 16 inches of fish in there. Inch per gallon is not that accurate but it is a good way of quickly working it out. I think realistically you need a bigger tank or change your fish.
 
Pygmy Cories and Endlers are smaller versions of the fish that you have now and would work great in this size tank.

ok i have 12 large tanks 7 small tanks and the 30 L tank. the 30 L i use as my display tank.

 

[SeanTrollope]

my bad it is 44 L

44L tank is better but again the corydoras i would recommend getting a smaller type as suggested above but to answer your question.
 
Neon Green Rasboras they stay small only 2cm
most small tetras like neons, 3-4cm
Celestrial pearl Danios 2cm again but these fish are timid
 
shrimp is also a better one for small nano tanks than cory's tbh

my catfis is only 2 cm and has not grown ffor a long time.
