Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hey all,
I recently received a 4 gallon cube aquarium the dimensions are 25x25x25cm or 10x10x10. It is currently on my porch being checked for leaks but I looked at the silicone and it looks good. The water in my area is generally soft but my water out the tap has a p.H. of 7.4. I am considering how to stock this tank.
It is small. I know that I am going to use black flourish sand and it will be planted but lowtech. I have done some research and have made a list of fish I think (based on size) might do okay in the cube. Please let me know if you disagree on any of them and why. I have never kept any of these do I don't know how reliable the info I have is.
Fish
Paracheirodon simulans (Green Neon Tetra)
Sundadanio axelrodi
Parosphromenus sp.(Liquorice Gourami)
Trichopsis pumila (Sparkling Gourami)
Barboides gracilis
Hyphessobrycon amandae (Ember Tetra)
Dario dario (Scarlet Badis)
Microdevario kubotai
Microdevario nana
Boraras merah
Boraras brigittae
Boraras micros
Aphyosemion australe (Lyretail Killi)
I would rather not go the betta splendid route, but I could see doing shrimp in this tank, I just prefer fish even though its tiny I hope one of these species might work.
Thanks for any and all opinions and advice!
