    Hello

    Ok first I just started. and I am wondering what type of fishes that can go with them I only gotten 4 shrimps cause I worry about the tank size as I know to many would be a bad thing.. but at the same time i want a fish that eats mosquito also. so i am wondering what fish would be great? I dont intend to put alot of fish just maybe 1 or 2 of them as the tank is small as shown in picture. i been told that keep sucker fish is good but i dont know which is suited cause i dont want it to grow...

    MosquitoesvRasboras are the best, ottos will not eat Mosquitos though. Do not get a sucker fish. The typical ones can grow to be huge!

    Mosquito rasboras are pretty safe with adult shrimps but not with shrimplets. I have seen with my own eyes that mosquito rasboras feed on shrimplets and due to their small size, they will actually swim into plants and mosses to look for tiny organism to feed one and shrimplets are one of them.

    Oh... You can try dwarf corydoras like hastatus, hasborsus and pygmeous. I kept all these 3 species together with my sakuras. No problem at all

    clown would fit cherry but cherry wouldnt fit clown, because if the clown spawns, the cherry would eat the eggs while the clown wouldnt even bother to care
    Always there to help even if i can't i'll try my best to
