Been awhile since I've asked this question.
I have a 5gallon Eclipse Corner.
Looks like this:
Dimensions: 15.5"L x 10.5"W x 14.5"H.
Capacity: 5 gallons

This tank has been stable for over 2 years now.
current stable rates (25% water changes ~every week)
nitrite : 0.0
nitrate: 10.0ppm
Ammonia: 0.0
pH: 7.8
Currently have 502 heater as well.
I did have 3 Red minors in this tank, but they have sadly passed away.
Right now 1 otto remains from the two. Hes been alone for about 7+ months.
Currently looking for idea of what I can stock in this. I won't be upgrading the tank until about a year from now (which will be about a 29g long, could go larger if the wife lets me ).
Also looking at getting some drift wood and live plants (not sure what yet just thinking ground cover and 1 background plant) Currently have a 10W Florescent 51000k Light.
Currently the only idea's I think that will fit in the 5gallon is a betta, not sure if he will bother the otto?
I'd rather not go a betta, if I can go other. Been banging my head as a 5gallon always seems like a challenge to stock.
