Rich

It has now been changed to a 96 liter tank that i will ask for for xmas

 

[dwarfgourami]

my first choice would be a shelldweller tank- hard water, sand, shells and a small colony of neolamprologus multifasciatus- seriously cool fish

for soft acid water, I would get a large school of some of the smallest tetras- ember tetras or kitty tetras, or really small rasboras; also a group of pygmy corydoras; plant the tank heavily and treat it as a nano jungle

or a trio of sparkling gouramis and khuulie loaches for the bottom

or I might go coldwater with a harem of desert gobies

 

[Breeze7050]

2 dwarf puffers??

 

[richchappy]

Just looking at the puffers and they look cool,
Keep the ideas coming,

 

[MegTheFish]

A betta that gets along with other fish, then a nice school of a small tetra that doesn't mind not have a strong current (because of the betta). Khuli loaches or small cories for the bottom of course!
Or a "non-fish" tank, with a couple of apple snails, african dwarf frogs and shrimp (ghost, cherry?)and maybe a centerpiece fish such as a dwarf gourami.
Maybe a pair of some time of appistogamma (sp?) or a pair of blue rams. With a school of rummynose tetras that would look pretty neat!

 

[mikster]

Heavily planted with lots of rocks and moss and have a cherry shrimp breeding colony

Heavily planted with a pair of peacock gobies.

I'd second shelldwellers. I have 6 in a 30g and just had my first spawn in less than a month. Mine are L. stappersi though.

 

[Griz]

Shell dwellers!

Here's some inspiration: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?act=ST...=0#entry1384008

 

[richchappy]

Not sure if this is way over stock or if the fish are ok together but wat about
4 Corys
1 Betta
3 Platties
2 dwarf gouramies
2 little plecs

 

[n3ont3tra]

Sorry, but one plec alone grows too big for a 13 gallon. I would be a little worried about the gouramis and the betta, I'm thinking maybe the betta will attack the gouramies (or vice versa?) Instead of the plecs I suggest a few more cories.

 

[richchappy]

Sound ok with the couple more corys, didnt know about plecs, also with the gourami betta situation, we have them together downstairs and they are ok but there are another 2 tanks in the house so if needs be we can move them

 

[Sibelius]

How about 6 Corydoras (you choose, I'd suggest Julii, my favourite!), with lots of plants and some nice wood in there, perhaps hatchets, and a trio of rainbowfish?

 

[n3ont3tra]

I think Harlequin Rasboras look nice in tanks with either lots of plants, or lots of rocks. Maybe about 4 cories, 6 Harlequins and a betta?

 

[richchappy]

oh well the tank is out of my budget now
i will have to look at saving up for 1

 

[richchappy]

I have decided to ask for a 96 liter tank for xmas, that opens up the possibilitys for fish a bit
