22 litre nano / what am I limited to

[Mark666]

When I add fish could anyone suggest a few fish that would be good for my tank.

 

[darren636]

None , really.

 

[Mark666]

Oh really

Chilli rasbora perhaps. Unless you are an expert, suggest not using fish. Just have some shrimp.

Hi rebel, thanks, I have 8 crystal shrimps at the minute lol so doing well with those, just wondered if there was anything to finish it off

Hi all,

Just have some shrimp.

In hard water shrimp are probably your best bet. If you can find them Celestichthys (Danio) erythromicon are a small non-shoaling fish. The males fight (and they aren't easily sexable), but a male and 3 females would be OK.

If the water is acidic then there are a number of small fish from "black water" that might do, a lot of them (Parosphromenus sp. etc) are fairly specialist.

cheers Darrel

Female erythromicron have pale bellies, whereas the males have full vertical stripes .

Males do spar on a daily basis and my 40 litre proved too small to accommodate my group of 6, which bred quite prolifically in hard water.

Scarlet Badis, chilli Rasbora, heterandria formosa, danionella dracula, glass gobies, dwarf bumble bee gobies, there used to be a website that listed all the fish that grow no more than 1.5cm.
Will see if I still have it saved
