I doubt I missed any, but in case
does a small or small mouthed slow eating fish that spends time in the upper parts of the tank exist?
I have that tank with indostomus paradoxus and they almost never venture anywhere other than 2 cm above the substrate. I am unsure if it is their regular behavior or if they are too scared. they are well fed, the tank has no flow, no heater so now is at 21 degrees. I have had the indostomus for 9 months now and they havent bred for me yet, so recently I removed the shrimp from their tank and will wait for few more months if that was the cause.
In case they dont breed, does a fish that I could add exist? Like a betta, but waaay smaller
would a single killifish do ? (not the clown ones, I have them, they jump too much and I do not have a lid on this tank) or maybe a male endler, but I dont think those can be kept alone.
I have read they can be kept with danionellas, but I have never seen them in the hobby. From microrasboras, I have the least one now (Boraras urophthalmoides) and they stay in the middle and bottom part of my tank, so they dont seem to be a suitable choice. I used to have Boraras maculatus, afai remember they stayed at the top but that was 10 years ago and they were a bit feisty. I am checking with other boraras keepers to see how the other ones behave, but a 25 is small for a school of them anyway
