Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok, I would like an SFF, cos they're pretty, especially the males ( ), and my tank is empty awaiting a new place to put it, and I would like to have an SFF in it...
I know that they can live in fairly small tanks (I once saw one in a little bulb type thing, smaller than a goldfish bowl, which I thought was very cruel!!!), but I'd like to know if my 18" x 9.75" x 10" tank is ok for a single male and if I could safely put something else in there, like shrimp, as I would also like to have some shrimp too cos they're cool...
Also, I have a Fluval 2+ (2nd hand) which I'm in the process of cleaning out, if I pop this into the Coldwater tank to seed with the orandas and loaches, would this be ok in a tropical tank? Or should I use Tetra SafeStart to seed the filter pads?
Thanks in advance...
