Angel fish

Scarlet badis would work, but I've heard they are hard to feed. They
Ike live food.

Not to hijack the thread, but I'll give you a quick answer.

They can eventually be turned to other forms of foods. My LFS feeds them flake, so when I got them they were already on flake. Then I had to change them to my homemade food, which they go nuts for. But frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp etc work for them. The key is pour (after letting it thaw in a cup) it into the current. They think the food is live and go after it.

Sorry, I was answering the question about feeding scarlet badis.


As for you, since you have your heart set on fish. For an 8g you could try other pygmy fish. Pygmy rasboras, pygmy cory catfish, sparkling gourami.
