New fish?

[V p1839]

My fish has recently passed on to the big pond.

I have a 12g tank with some java moss and fern with a few Anubis plants.

I want some mollies I think. Or maybe guppys. I'm not sure.

I need some help deciding

Can anyone help?

I have both mollies and guppies. With a 12 gallon I would suggest guppies. Mollies require a tank double that size. Guppies are really beautiful as well. Both are livebearers and will have tons of babies. Haha.

Cool thanks

I agree, guppies would be a good choice. You could also do a platy or 2. They are fun and colorful.

I saw endler livebearers they are beautifully colored, maybe a few galaxy rasboras. Chili rasboras, ember tetras, maybe killies. If you go with micro fish you can have like 10 in there but with the endlers they will breed so I would start with less.

You can have a Betta fish as well but if you do, no guppies!

What are the dimensions of your 12g tank?

 

[V p1839]

About 20 long 10deep 11 tall ish

Is it the mr aqua rimless tank the fact you have all the horizontal swimming room you maybe be able to have a bit of a different stock list.

I like platy's. I have 2 Mickey mouse platy's and a few neon black high fin variatus. Colorful and active! They are live bearers and will breed though. I'd ask for all female if you don't want babies.

Not sure which kind. Was a gift. I think I'm leaning towards a school of guppies?

 

[BlaseMrNiceguy]

The endler livebearers I believe are in the guppy family they look very similar but only get to about an inch long max so you could have more of them in there. Probably like 8-10

What about some pigmy cories and a few male platies?

So I got a bunch of guppys. Problem was they all died

Was you tank cycled ? How did you introduce them? What do you feed them?

 

[Borderlesscott]

If your tank had no fish in it for a period time after your last fish died the tank has probably lost its biofilter and will need cycled again.

My tank should still be cycled. I had ottos in there for the two weeks I didn't get new fish.

I feed the guppys omega one super color flakes.

How did you acclimate them?

I put the bag in for 15 minutes then I added water from the tank in and waited 10 minutes before adding them into the tank
