What fish for 9 gallon/33 litres tropical tank?

Question

I was thinking of african dwarf frogs, ghost shrimps and female fighters. What do you think? I already have a bigger tank where i have main fish like tetras and stuff. So i dont want them in this secondary tank. I want like different sort of fish animals in this tank like the african dwarf frogs, ghost shrimps and female fighters.

Answer 1

Ghost Shrimp do better in cooler water, female Betta's do better in warmer water. Africa Dwarf Frogs will do good in anything above 70. With female Betta's, you can have 1, or 3 or more. 1 will have no one to fight with, 2, 1 will kill the other. 3 or more, they will form a hierarchy, with the most dominant female being in charge. The frog and Betta, would eat the shrimp. I think you would do good, with just the shrimp. If you want shrimp, try Cherry Red, they are more colorful (but more expensive). You could try a few snails, there are some colorful ones out there. You could try an American Flag fish (Jordanella floridae), Bumble Bee Goby, Ruby Red Pencil fish,  Glo fish, You could get a male Betta, you may be surprised at how many different kinds there are, from wild to domestic.

Answer 2

African dwarf frogs are cool but they don't have a long life expectancy and they like to escape, which ends their short life even faster.

Shrimp are fun, but don't get ghost ones, look around and find something unique. If your able to keep them happy, you will have generation after generation in your tank. I like to collect female bettas, but they are in a 55g, so I don't think you would be able to have too many in a 9g. I would suggest no more than 3, since they can be territorial, just depends on the individual fish. Cherry barbs are fun too, I have a tank full of them. Just make sure you don't over-do it with the males, since they love to pick on each other.

Good Luck !

Answer 3

no fighters should be kept together

females will nip each other and it could get infected
