Room temp / Sub-tropical nano fish tank
#1
Hey All,
New to the forum and a fish noob looking for advise?
Recently purchased a 10-gallon tank and I've planted it with live plants and still trying to get my hands on a few more before I add any fish. A few plants have melted already :(
I want to stock it with nano-size fish (no more than 2 inches) but I'm looking for a variety of fish preferably non-schooling fish.
I'm guarantee going to purchase;
Red cherry shrimp / or Amano Shrimp
Zebra Nerite snail
But I'm stuck picking other fishes when I get to this point of a cycled tank.
I do not plan on having a heater in my tank so this narrows my selection down and I also prefer to get fish that do not school but I'm stuck on which fish do not require a school or a tropical waters - I've been monitoring my tank for a month now and it's gone down to a low of 18c and the highest 24 c.
Can anyone shine some light on which fish that can fit my requirements all year round, I currently live in London (I have a heater on standby for the colder months of the year if need be)
I've made a shortlist just not sure if whether they fit my needs;
Clown Killifish
Scarlet Badis
Bloodfin Tetra
Celestial pearl danio
White Cloud Mountain Minnow
Orginal Endlers livebearers
Pygmy Sunfish
Pygmy gourami
Chilli rasbora
Oto Catfish
Albino Catfish
I find my self cutting and chopping my shortlist daily and researching more and more but many sources mention conflicting information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
