There are 5 blue Daisy's rice fish in there that I got from Gabe at one of our auctions a few months ago. I threw away most of the plants i was storing in it and kept a few for planting. I added tropica aquarium soil powder as substrate. These little fish were over bare bottom a long time. And under a pile of plants. Just a few minutes after adding soil and planting some plants. Those fish colored up. They like it already. Light is a t5ho. Too strong . Need to raise it up a little.

It's just a start. I just planted it a half hour ago. I'm gonna try to breed these little fellas. I find them fascinating. I have lots of room for grow out in other tanks if they end up going for me.

Nice little tank, Nano Tanks require a special kind of care and find them most rewarding!
Obviously you are planning to continue to Aquascape the tank into a little green jewel right?

The siblings of those rice fish are having fry of their own. I’m not pulling any now, and maybe a couple survivors if that. Mind you there are no plans they could hide in. They are also in a 5 gallon unheated tank, and they are fed a very high protein food.
Good luck with your project, looking great so far!

I haven't seen anything in there yet. I rarely sit and watch them down there. But when I do, the more I love their coloring. To me they are just like tiny rainbow fish. Alot like the little blue eyes. |

The fry are usually on the surface in between plants. They are very tiny. Usually just notice the blue eyes!
