Sparkling gourami won my heart over. They have SO much personality for such a tiny little fish.

When you're keeping the Psudomugils make sure you have a tight fitting lid, I lost 6 of them when they jumped out a tiny gap I had around the filter . Otherwise they are beautiful fish to keep

Great list! I haven't done an actual nano tank before but I like adding nano fish to bigger tanks. I currently have a school of about 30 ember tetras and 12 kuhli loaches in my 75 gallon, ~15 neon tetras (not green neons though), 8 otos and 5 female bettas in my 36 gallon, and then I plan on adding a school of celestial pearls to the 20 gallon tall I'm currently cycling.

Great episode. I think it’s great to redo these lists, with experience comes new choices and changes to your list. I am very interested in having some Dario Dario. I also want to learn more about cherry barbs, their colour and details are beautiful.

This channel has always been the most helpful. I appreciate your soft tone and much inspiration for aquariums . It’s nice to see what’s possible. Keep shredding it 💕

I am from Myanmar and good to see Myanmar native fish in your video.

I purchased one of the RGB light screens you recommended, it’s absolutely awesome and totally transformed my shrimp tank. So happy!

That little blue feeding basket is such a wonderful idea for mid-water feeders like my celestial pearl danios! Can I please have a link for one?

[dhruvkapoor]

A few of my favourites from this list were corydoras hastatus, Dario dario, pseudomugil paskai, ember tetras and the celestichtys margaritatus

[heaven]

I enjoyed your selection! Your aquariums are so creative too!

[ruthnaomi]

also i quickly went to go listen to what those sparkling danios sound like, and WOW! never knew a fish could be so loud!

[jbthunder]

Grat video as always the galaxy rasboras are my favorite I love the way the interact with the plants and rocks!

[droeksonfishkeeping]

Some interesting choices. I have some Embers too. Love that Scarlet Badis as well.

[ozzyheather]

Great video, full of lovely fish especially the Dario Dario, never seen that one before.Can't wait to get some.

black tiger darios and red neon blue eye rainbows look amazing, never seen them before

Neoheterandria Elegans are also cool nano-fish. The male is one of the smallest fish in the world. There are other life bearers fitting in the nano-category. I heard Pea Puffer is also a nano-fish, but they have territories. If I don't count Betta (which isn't nano-fish by size, but 12 gallons is okay), I'd say my favorite would be dwarf rasboras. Least Rasboras can fit in tiny tanks, they live for several years, reproduce rather easily, common in fish stores and they are rather hardy for nano-fish. Blue (green) neon tetras are also my favorite, but I'd give them at least 50cm long tank to swim.

I like Corries and Ember tetras, but they get scared easily and moving them is often fatal. Even shrimp handle that better.

[dreamgroove]

Great list. I'm going to get some of them for my new fish tank. Thank you for sharing

[Czesin]

the spotted blue eye can also be found in northren parts of Australia :)

Working on stocking my 33 gallon L with nano fish. This list is making me rethink my stock that I’ve planned for a year XD I had no idea gouramis could make noise, so cool! And those Dario darios I keep seeing you show off are so tempting. And I’ve recently come to love tiger endler tetras. Might start researching some of these guys to see if they’d fit in with my planned fish

[sabithpulukkool]

Wow. Came to YouTube just after googling this question.
