Are CPD and Galaxy Rasbora the same fish? I have been thinking in a few months to turning my 58L/16G into a species only. I'm not sure 307ppm is ok for CPD but I wouldn't mind mixing RO in the small tank.CPDs don't. If by emerald dwarf danio you mean microdevario kubotai they love it - the more the better. Mine will even have arguments if one encroaches on another's flow
Fast flow/waves but hard water stock ideas 127L/34G

Yes they are the same.
I really don't know yet but I like the idea of a community of small fish. I really like Forktail blue-eyed Rainbowfish and this could go in 127L/34G tank and build community of small fish around them. And two small Plecos (Bristlenose & false zebra).
With Hardness at 307ppm I've been going down a rabbit hole of hard water fish but nothing set really.
You could get rift lake cichlids
Do they need to be kept with fish from same region? So maybe wouldn't work with Plecos and/or Forktail?You could get rift lake cichlids
Yea, plus they'd probably try and eat all the forktails hehe. Can be pretty aggressive.
You could keep shell dwellers actually. Not to angry, and stay relatively small.
That's a fun looking fish!
In the wild their pH gets up to 9.4That's a fun looking fish!
No these:
erythromycin danio

CPD and Galaxy Rasbora are the same thing: celestichthys margaritatus
Erythromicron danio are actually celestichthys erythromicron
As the classification suggests these are very similar fish and (according to SF) probably capable of hybridisation. In practice (and I can't remember where I read this) the fry produced in mixed tanks are one or the other. I originally bought the CPD because I have hard water. It is only since I have had them that I have switched to RO - and in the CPD tank I do add minerals so they are not in super soft water like the other tanks.
Oh I love this guy - celestichthys erythromicron. Must see if shop can order them for me. Definitely think this tank will be lovely with multiple small fish.
I'm partial to the blue-eyed fork tail -
pseudomugil furcatus - because I have some ♡ I was also looking at the peacock gudgeons as I read they inhabit the same native habitat. That's all I know about them, not anything else like group requirements, etc. So maybe check those out.
Endlers? but do you want live bearers?
Also, I think I read that CPDs like slow current and high oxygenation. So when I got mine I made sure there were areas if both. They are known to be shy (initially I had 7), and they were shy and slower moving...
but @seangee has a LOT more , maybe ask him to post the video he has?
And frogbit
The fork tail are not shy at all!.
One other thing, what is your water temperature, that may make a difference in your choice.?
I might set up a CPD only 16G/58L tank after this. I think lots of Forktails would be lovely - the Endlers I will only do as male only. Tank temp is currently 25 degrees but it's empty of fishI'm partial to the blue-eyed fork tail -
