Fish for dirty (NPT) five gallon?

[Ashenwelt]

Hello all,

Something that effects those of us who live in apartments, I am looking at what can happily live in a dirty 5 gallon.

Are there any dwarf conclude that can happily live in this volume tank?

My rams I have in a 45 gallon community... But one exemption is all I am getting lol.

Thanks!

I hope it really isn't dirty! A single apisto can be kept in a 5 easily. The only apisto pair I'd keep in a 5 is A. wapisana (rarely imported and rather plain). You might get away with a pair of A. borellii, but you need to keep an eye out for aggression. They are cichlids after all. And, if they breed, a 5 won't handle everyone.

LOL. Dirt bottom, heavily planted. LOL.

Can't believe the aquarium size limits...

I love 5s - for breeding pencilfishes and small tetras - but not for cichlid pairs.

Apartment living and Aquaria... not happy friends.

Haven't lived in an apartment since the 70s (showing my age!). It was a 2 bedroom. Before moving to my house I had 6 tanks, 30 gallon to 5 gallon. I'm now running 30 tanks, down from ~50.

It's City living... it is what it is... though I was talking about going to a friend's wedding. I was talking about it and I mentioned I hadn't seen some of the people since the 70s. This little project manager walks over and says "Rob, I wasn't made in the 70s or the 80s." I felt so old and irritated at that. She was made in the 90s...
