15 Gallon Ideas

[Musicfreak]

Although my husband says I need no more fish tanks, he picked me up a free 15 gallon off of a friend. At least I think its a 15, if not then its a 10 but looks bigger. I don't have a tape measure handy otherwise I'd measure it. Tank only, I would have to get everything needed for it including some sort of hood.

We are about to move so I'm holding off of cycling until after the move. Although I want to start thinking of some ideas for the tank.

I was thinking of venturing into the planted world, I have other tanks but have yet to go to planted. Figured best to start with something smaller.

Some stock ideas I have in mind are:

Shrimp
Guppies
Female Beta, not positive. I have a male but he's in his own tank.
Mollies

Of course not all together just different types of stuff I might want in the tank. Been a while since I've had such a small tank so completely sure what I can do stock wise.

Planted dwarf puffer?

A spawning pair of rams?

Some really nice high-quality fancy guppies?

Shelldwelling cichlids?

I think a colony of the shell dwelling cichlids neolamprologus multifasciatus would be cool.

Oh I've always wanted a dwarf puffer. I did not even know there were cichlids that small. I'll have to look into that more.

If you want planted forget the multi's. They dig continuesly

I honestly love my guppies. They have lots of babies though! My other favorite smaller fish is my endlers. They are extremely beautiful.

I love my guppies too. I had a few that had fry. Sadly the mother passed, only ave 3 fry. They are in their own tank currently, I feel they are to small to put in my 75.

Cories or ADFs might be nice for the lower levels.

Here's a tank I set up the other day, photos not very good, it looks way better in person haha, just some rocks, Java moss, a price of drift wood and 3 plants at the back
