d4rio Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hello guys, I am new with natives and I am still gathering info. What species would you recommend for a 2ft tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Small natives - Blue Eyes, smaller Rainbows (McCullochi for example) that would be it in a small tank like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heintz.G Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Here's a couple more for you to choose from, Pygmy Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia pygmaea).....Threadfin Rainbowfish (Iriatherina werneri). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rio Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thank you! I was quite impressed by Rainbows so I think I might pursuit this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Stay away from Bozemani and incisus for example, you need a school and space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag-98 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Don't forget glassfish. They school and move around the tank beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I have a little Juwel Lido with a tiny little hyrtl's catty and 2 glassfish, soon to be threadfins and a few spotted blue eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 [MENTION=1814]Sephiroth[/MENTION] the Catfish won't stay small for long and will eat the Blue Eyes and Rainbows when it grows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
