I'm very excited... Just about ready to go with stocking a new (to me) tank I got a while back.
I've spent months compiling lists of nano fish, and oh boy, have I got a long list. This tank is very limited in size of course, but I have others in the works, so I'm not tempted to overstock, just having trouble deciding who comes home first.
My lfs routinely stocks these:
Neon Tetras (long time favorite)
Various Rasboras, I'm partial to the Chili and the Strawberry
Ember Tetra
Kubatai Tetra
CPD
I'm hoping they can find me some Green Neon Tetras.
It's easy to find internet tutorials on which fish like to occupy various parts of the water column, but those aren't always accurate in practice. I'd love to hear about personal experience/observations.
For the bottom third, I'm planning to get Pygmy Corydoras. I know most of the others on my list of possibles will probably use the middle third, and explore all of the tank... Any suggestions for a nano fish that prefers to occupy the top?
This tank will have approximately a third of the bottom heavily planted with an overhang for the cories to hide in. There will be another small section of taller plants, plus some floating plants, so everyone has somewhere to hide as desired.
Thanks!
