Nano Fish List

[Sneakerpimp]

I'm compiling a list of small and for the most part, peaceful fish to stock my 33g planted. Hopefully some of them will be on my LFS's stock list. I already had the pictures downloaded of what I've found so far, I thought I'd post them here. Would appreciate any other suggestions. Keep in mind a few of them aren't nano fish, just some I may stock.


Pygmy Sunfish

Amazing little fish:

Honey Gourami


German Blue Ram


Red Swordtail


Neon Blue Rasbora


Emerald Blue Rasbora


Sparrow Rasbora


Phoenix Rasbora


Chili/mosquito Rasbora


Celestial Pearl Danio

I think you have a great selection of fish. Now how they will work under the same water conditions remains to be seen

To add to the anabantoids. Licorice gouramis. I'm hoping for a 10g of sparkling and a 10g of licorice to try to breed.

Cherry shrimp


Red Eye Tiger Shrimp


Amano Shrimp



It's a tough call for me with the shrimp because there's a good chance the rams and the goby will eat and/or terrorize them into hiding. The larger amano would stand a better chance I think.

Dwarf Gourami


Licorice Gourami


Endler Livebearer


Threadfin Rainbowfish

Nice thread, I'll keep an eye on it in case I ever need stocking ideas. Very nice looking fish.

I see some things I think should be brought to your attention.
1 The honey gouramis can live in groups, they are one of the very few gouramis that live with each other.
2 Rams like higher temps, like mid 80's I think.
3 The sword tails will give birth to a lot of baby's.
4You may not be able to tell which rasbora is which after you get them all, they all look similar( except for 2)
5 The celestial pearl danios cost $6 per fish.
6 The guppy's will give birth to a lot of baby's.
7 The Platy's will give birth to a lot of baby's.
8 The guppys, platys, swordtails will interbreed with one another I am pretty sure. I'm not sure of how breeds with who though
9 The swamp guppy might interbreed with the platys, swordtails, and guppys.
10 The dwarf gourami will not get along with other gouramis, they also have "dwarf gourami disease" Look it up.
11 I would only go with 1 type of gourami so no one would die and you don't lose money.
12 2 rams that are both male will not get along very well I think.
13 All of your fish run the chance of eating all of your shrimp (Say goodbye to $100-$200)
14 The endler will interbreed with the guppy and look bad, they might interbreed with the platys, swordtails.

I think he just meant that he was looking into fish that he might want to stock. This was not supposed to be a stock list, rather he was going to select fish from here that would be compatible and create a stock list from that.

Like Brian said, this isn't a stocking list. But good info. I have a feeling most of the rasboras I listed are are quite rare. It's likely the(expensive) celestials will be the schooling fish I get.
