Probably going to be no good for the plants tho Anyone got and good ideas about fitting some kind of external filter Into the back compartment 2 shrimp 6 neon tetras 1 mountain minnow 1 coolie loach Going to add a Siamese fighting fish I think Any thoughts?
Beautiful tank! Unfortunately you have some stocking issues. What are the dimensions of the tank? It looks too small for neons, mountain minnows, and kuhli loaches (all need to be in groups of 6+ of their own species, and your tank isn't big enough for any of these species). You do have other options if you decide not to add a betta. If you add a betta, no other fish - this tank isn't large enough for a betta community.
Yeah I thought so I have had that one white mountain minnow for about 4/5 years though and it's been fine the dimensions are 44x61x54cm yeah if I did add a beta it would be the last fish
It's really not fine - they're schooling fish and need to be in groups. Are you sure you got the dimensions right? That tank comes out much larger than 46 liters. At 22", it's a bit short for neons, but if you don't want to rehome them, it's better than your normal 10 gal dimensions. Please rehome the minnow though. Also don't add a betta. They're not temp compatible with neons and he may attack/kill your neons (or the neons may stress him out).
Yeah dimensions are right and that's weird I was reading online that neons and betas are compatible also the neons don't really school unless they are threatened when I added mine they did for like a day now they just hang around mostly on there own
I think the measurements given are the measurements of the whole unit, the actual glass tank will be smaller
