Which type of dwarf fish is best for an all plant tank?

Question

the tank is a 30gal. Tall with a sand bottom.

(for my daughter)

Answer 1

rams or gourami's

Answer 2

You could go with a dwarf gourami, lives mostly at the top of the tank.

A school of cardinal tetras - middle of the tank, and look great in a fully planted tank.

Some oto catfish for the bottom - they will also help keep the algae under control in the tank.

P.S. A puffer fish and a planted tank? - not a good idea.The puffer will love it, all those plants to tear up ;-)

Answer 3

a dwarf puffer fish would do nicley

Answer 4

gourmis are nice beatifull fish

Answer 5

Is there a reason you want a "dwarf" fish?

Dwarf Gourami are great fish as Ian has pointed out.  Neon Blue or Flame...your choice.  I would do just one with a school of Neon Tetra or Black Light Tetra.  No less than 5 in the school.

With a 30 gallon Tall Tank you have a lot of possibilities.

You could actually get a pair of Angels.

They love lots of plant cover.

OR German Blue Rams are also great fish for a planted tank.  A couple in here would be great.

As far as Dwarf...a puffer wouldnt work too well...needs a little salt in the tank to really thrive...and dont know how this would affect the plants you have in there.

A cure all and a small fish would be a school of 6 Neon Tetra.

Best of Luck!
