5 gallons tank

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

ive got a 5 gallon tank i was thinking a fighter but what else could i put in it?

[Raf]

Perhaps some White Cloud Mountain Minnows (WCMM), especially if the tank does not have a heater.

:)

im looking for something bright + we get them in creeks etc here so their no so attractive to us aussie folk lol

[Rhys]

some neon tetras might look pretty cool.

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

to small for a school of neons need a 10 gallon atleast

[ewok]

killifish?

there was some really awesome mini fish i saw once, i think they were killis.

some of the lampragous/neolampragus cichlids might also work.

[ewok]

ahhhhhh, rams stay pretty small too, don't they?

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

here killies are so expensive about 50 bucks each

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

ive seen freshwater soles around how do they go?

[ewok]

freshwater sole = freshwater flounder?

i would imagine pretty big. i did some reading on freshwater flounder awhile back, unfortunately it all eludes me atm. :huh:

[TKOS]

Why not forgo a midlevel fish and add in acouple of cories or khulies on the bottom?

[PartyAnimal1UK]

few options,
shrimps,
cories,
sucking loach,
all stay small.

[ewok]

hatchets? (hatchetfish) :confused:

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

thats guys

[Dapple2]

Yes Ewok, those were indeed killis ;)

Can you get eggs mailed to you Tia? Also I found these two links on the AKA website:

http://naka.killi.net/
http://nzka.killi.net/

I assume it would be cheaper to get killis mailed from someplace slightly more local than most of the god folks on aquabid. They are really fascinating fish and once you find other people that keep them, they are generally pretty cheap! Heck, I know my club has even *given* people easy killis to get them started :cool:

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

wow suppose just add water lol

[Dapple2]

Hehe, yep, some of the killies are even known as insta-fish! ;)

[Rhys]

wow cool i didn't even know those little buggars came from australia.

[Dragon_Lord_Tia]

i breed lyre tails once but i always stuffed the end bit. keeping the eggs out of water but keeping them moist can be hard a times
