New Tank

[Nallen]

Hi!

I might get a used 15 Gallon from my GF's parents. They haven't used it for about 15-20 years I guess...

I have so many alternatives on what to put in there! Could use some help choosing


* Betta male + some females

* Catfish of all kinds

* Puffers

* Crabs, with half of the gravel/mud/whatever above water level.

* Lobster/Shrimps/Crayfish

As you see I'd like it to be not so "communityish", and quite "oddbally"...

The tank could be too small for some of these, if so, please tell me. And please come with more suggestions on what to put in there...

you could try getting 5 dwarf indian puffers. they're very agressive so you have to add them all at once.

That would be really nice!

I hope my LFS will be able to get me some in that case

oddball? i've forgotten how big they get, but how about a Four Eyes Fish? they're really neat, look like really long, stripey and fat Loaches. technically they've got two eyes, but they're divided so they can see in and above the water at once =)

otherwise... hmm... 15 gallons could house a few off-color fish, not quite oddballs. perhaps a school of six Australian Blue-Eyes (1.5") and a single Talking Catfish (6") would be good oddlings. add in a few breeding Dwarf Swordtails (1.5") and your fish would have a 'neverending' supply of live food =)

Bettaboyz ! there you go again!! What is it with you and fish having constant babies, sorry that doesn't sound right, but you know what i mean!

A talking Catfish??? What the?? How do you know all this stuff?

Love Mollie x x x

Maybe the talking catfish would get along with the dwarf puffers ? seems sweet... Livebearer fry is no problem for me... They're all over the place The puffers won't have to starve
