I like the idea as it is. Look I have just purchased a very rare invisable South American black kantsee.

Any way a lovery tank and excellent clear photo well done.

Jessnick,

I'll be honest and say I'm not usually a fan of the colored gravel fake rock thing, but that is a really nice tank. And as Keith said it's a super photo Great job.

Are those plastic plants? The reason I ask is if they are you can go with brackish and put in a dwarf puffer.

The most obvious suggestion would be a Betta, but I know you have a few of them and may want something different.Actually I think 3 or 4 male Fancy Guppies, different varieties, would look really well in that tank. Lots of color and activity.

Apart from that all I can think of is some killifish.


Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.

Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Very pretty

I'm thinking something colorful would look nice...cherry barbs, male Endler's, killies. I once had two female bettas in a tank that size.

They are actually silk plants, and thanks evryone for your compliments. they are appreciated. I was thinking maybe female Bettas that I already have, but as Bensaf suggested I was looking for something a little different. Are puffers hard to maintain?

I don't think puffers are terribly difficult. Rarely will you find any that accept flake food though. I feed mine live bloodworms and brine shrimp, they'll also eat frozen foods. They do need snails to keep their beaks down. In the past I've gotten pond snails from the lfs, most will gladly give them away. Now I just pick them out of my other tanks. Neat little fish with lots of personality.

Because some of you said this could be possible, i've introduced 2 of my female Bettas! They have been in there for a day now and seem to have taken quite well. Luckily they are used to each other from being in the same tank with each other since we got them (although that had a divider). They both love all the plants, caves and hiding spots. I have seen them become a little "curious" with each other but no fighting or nipping at all. I'll keep my fingers crossed, they look awesome in there togetherWish me luck! I'll keep everyone updated. Thanks for the replies!
