Hi everyone. I am actually looking to replace the fish that I used to have in a small tank. (and I mean small)
There is a small 1.5g in my kitchen (my fiance's tank). It has no heater, but does get warmth from the window that it's under (not in front of, the window is above it). We had been keeping 3 fancy guppies in there for over a year with no problems. Even keeping some ghost shrimp with them as well.
Just recently I purchased a small filter for the size of the tank, and that created a fairly strong current. I noticed right away that the guppies didn't like that too well, so I made sure to only run the filter for about 30 min every other day. Just enough to move the water around and filter a bit, and then let them rest. Clearly I didn't clean the filter well enough before placing it in the tank, because suddenly one morning we woke up and all the fish were dead. The only survivor being one shrimp. (and he's still going strong)
I've been monitoring the water and tank levels since then, and it's been about a month now. We're ready to try to re-introduce fish into this tank, but need something that can handle the current and the cooler water temp. (as it stays room-temp)
Does anyone have any ideas?
(This is not my only tank. I have a 30g tetra tank w/ various tetras and a dragon fish that does very well.)
