boraras. There are small enough to live comfortably in this volume of water and large enough to be seen.

Thanks for suggestion, r they shoaling fishes? Expensive? Where can i buy them?

Actually, you need to give a lot more details. Perhaps a picture of your tank.

For example, if you have minimal filtration, then labyrinth fishes are more suitable, like pygmy gourami, licorice gourami.

If you have adequate plant cover and filtratation, the boraras species should do fine.

If the temperature is relatively cool, you can also add shrimps.

1 ft is relatively large, so you can even consider keeping some smaller cichlids like candidi or checkerboard cichlids.

Oh n i place my tank in a air con room hence imo temp will be quite all right.

well if you are after something small, and subdued to match a planted tank, try the as yet undescribed Danionella sp. from Northeast India, only 10-15mm and super slim

I saw the shop beside NA Nature got sell....

I saw some at ecoculture, wonder if they are still there. Looks very small to me though.

yah mine from eco. about the same lenght as a small boraras but look small due to slimness. a large school will look interesting due to the subdue but sparkly colour.

About Boraras... if placed in a bigger tank, you can probably see some shoaling. But not much space to see shoaling effect in a 1ft tank.
I keep Boraras with my Cherry Shrimps in a 1ft cube. So far seem they seem to live quite happily together. The Cherry Shrimps also reproduced.

Thinking to put a 8" cube tank in my office, would this fish survive in air-con room with no filter?

Also would they co-living with Cherry shrimp?

"this" fish refers to which one the boraras or the one choy took??

i have both in 23 degree water..no probs..

I was refering to boraras. In the 8" cube tank, how many is suitable? Also, plan to keep the water level close to the tank edge, would the fish jump?
