Please log in for more thread options With a air powered sponge filter sitting on the bottem (good circulation, no
too much current) I'd say a nice array of leopard and zebra danios, go for
longfins and goldens.
Maybe a cory and bristlenose.
Some fish may need to be removed when they get too large..
Maybe Danios, shrimp and snails? Big golden ones.
Otherwise paradise fish... violent but tough.
Either way depends on the temperature. I''d go coldwater if you can.
then no heater
but yea neons and guppys will prob work well
keep up the water changes.
