I love seeing an arrowana as much as anyone else, in fact probably more than the majority of the public, and I want to house an elegant silver one day. But I feel as if small tanks have an unwarranted bad name. It seems as though whenever there is a person asking for help on what to put in a ten gallon we all tell him to put in either Bettas or fish and inverts. I haven't really found any resources for nano tanks; maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I'm going to start my own tiny fish list here, to help myself and others. So, let's start:
Commonly Seen(at least in what I've seen):
Endler's Livebearers
Fancy Guppies
Siamese Fighting fish
Dwarf Puffers
Neon Tetras
Zebra/Leopard Danios
Glowlight Rasbora
White Mountain Cloud Minnows
Harlequin Rasboras
Panda/Dwarf Cory
Dwarf Gourami
Otos
Bumblebee goby
Not so Common:
Ember Tetras
Microrasboras
Pearly Rasbora
Many, many Killies
Spike-tailed paradise fish (P. dayi)
Peacock gudgeon/goby
Sparkling Gourami
Honey Gourami
Licorice Gourami(thanks Lupin)**
Peaceful Betta
Betta cocina group(?)**
Betta picta
Dwarf croaking gourami
Chocolate gourami**
Samurai gourami**
Male Celebes Halfbeak
Cherry Barbs
Golden Dwarf Barbs
Three-striped Dwarf Cichlid
Nijssen's Dwarf Cichlid**
Apistogramma commbra*
Apistogramma geisleri*
Shelldwellers
Mosquitofish
*Hard to find to extremely rare
**Demanding requirements/difficult to keep
I got tired of looking up Dwarf Cichlids, and I know it's missing 10 billion tetras. This list is not 100%. It is not something that I would put my name or reputation by, it's based on a string of researched information. It is up here for suggestion and correction, as well as to be informative. I have not kept the vast majority of these fish.
