About a month ago, I bought a 16 litre tank for some platy fry (tank dimensions around 35cm x 20cm x 25cm maybe). I’ve placed 5 into the main tank to see how they do with adult platy and White Cloud Mountain Minnows, the latter of which chased them though could not fit them in their mouth. I’ve seen a few swimming around the bottom of the tank and am going to add the rest in within a few weeks until they are old enough to be sold. After these are moved, I would like to do something with the tank rather than have it sitting away in storage.
My initial plans were a betta, though I’m unsure if I’m ready for those requirements yet and think the tank may be too small as I’ve heard the minimum is 5 Gallons (18 liters).
My next idea was a planted shrimp tank. I’ll stick with this if I can’t find any other options.
I’ve thought of having a small school of Chili Rasboras, around 4-6 though preferably the higher end as they are schooling fish, as they are pretty small though am unsure of the requirements. Would the tank be too small?
Are there any other fish able to go in a tank that small? Also, I’d really like to do a black water tank if possible so if there were any fish/invertebrates suited that would be great. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.
