The combination of this vid and watching some old footage of my tanks has inspired me to try clown killies again in my 5 gal. Used to have them when I started out but it didn’t work out. A point I would’ve mentioned is they can go cold water and also need soft water, which works really well if you’re keeping them with Caridina shrimp in the 5 gal. I’m in aus and my lfs stocks them, so obviously they are in the country and in circulation at least. Good vid tho, cheers.

Some people live in a space so small that 5gallons is all they can manage, but that’s OK as long as you do water changes and you are testing your water perimeters religiously; that you educate yourself on the nitrogen cycle in the very least. Otherwise you are going to end up disappointed and you’re gonna let your pet down or get them hurt. Small tanks have erratic water parameters, but as long as you are up for the challenge of keep the water pristine water, you love the challenge/can do it ethically and as long as you don’t overstock your tank, you can do it. I have a 5gallon fish bowl. I would NEVER suggest a fish bowl for someone else who isn’t a total fish geek like me. Bowls are extremely challenging, but because I am educated on gas exchange and how to increase it and know a lot about water perimeters, I can do it ethically, but I expect a lot more work and I have been doing this for 25 years. You have to really love the hobby and be a scheduled kind of person to pull it off well. To be honest, saltwater aquariums are easier to keep than small aquariums. The challenges are similar. I don’t call it keeping fish. I call it keeping water, because really that’s what we’re doing if we’re doing it the right way. We are maintaining habitat to house a pet well. I don’t want to discourage people, but I do want them to have a basic understanding so they can succeed. I hate to see anyone not be able to participate in the hobby if they are interested because it really is so rewarding. If you have just those three things down (perimeter testing, gas exchange, nitrogen cycle) than your success rate goes WAY up. Oh and just so people aren’t worried... I only keep five little blue dream shrimp in my fish bowl. I have rigged a sponge filter and air stone into my aquascape and have a good water flow disrupting the surface of the water to increase the gas exchange. My water perams are mint and I use RO water and UV sterilizer. But this is what it takes. You gotta have the means. I’m lucky in the way that my lfs sells RO water really cheap.

Can you mix the fishes up or only one kind of fish can live together just asking
