I have some rainbow shiners on the way next month hope they will work in my 75 gal aquarium with lots of plant's & river rock & pea gravel substrate I have. I also have 2-100 gph hob's to keep the tank turned over & 3 albino Cory's with ramshorn snails & nerites no heater & the tank stays about 72-74.

The Vietnamese Cardinal Minnow is an interesting relative of the White Cloud, they're a slightly smaller species within the same genus that have different colouration. A future project of mine is to try a school of them with a Black Paradise Fish, also endemic to Vietnam and also a separate species to Macropodus Opercularis. Edit: for Latin names, the minnows are tanicthys micagemmae and the black paradise is macropodus spechti/concolor

Scleromystax barbatus are great for no heater tanks. A larger cory cat that is spectacular. Also some cichlid species to consider in larger tanks, Gynogeophagus species like some coolers temperatures, in particular terrapurpura.

@PlainsPup 5 ай бұрын

My favorite cool water fishes are the sunfishes! They are very cichlid-like, and some species have even been in the hobby for years, like Everglades Pygmy sunfish, blue spotted sunfish, and pumpkinseed. Others you might have to either special-order or catch yourself (with permit), like the bluegill and the green sunfish. Like cichlids, they range in size from small to large, and from peaceful to aggressive. Some of them, like the longear, have some of the best colors of any fish on Earth. If you like percomorph fishes and cool water systems, give the sunfishes a try.
