The best way to not get your heart broken, is pretending you don't have one.

You mean community fish? Then.... - Zebra danio - White cloud minnow - Neon dwarf rainbow fish - other several species of tetras, barbs, rasboras, danio but beware about aggression of specific species. - Cories for buttom dweller - Live bearers You also can have a pair of ram cichlids, but beware because they can't be with long fin fish, they are fin nippers. |

so, i was thinking about changing the substrate of my tank from gravel to sand, because I keep finding s**t under the gravel. my fear, however, is that it may cause compaction issues to my catfish. Does anyone have a tip ? |

Why don't you just use undergravel filter? Since your catfish won't dig the substrate up, I think it would be fine. |

It's a type of filter that is put undergravel. Very effective to smaller tank or for the fish that don't dig gravel up like cichlids.![]() ![]() ![]() I think they are available in the market already. Here, they are commonly sold. |

that looks nice, but it would be kinda of complicated to install in my tank (especially because it isn't really an aquarium, it's a terrarium that i readapted as an aquarium). |

Depend on the species you want to keep. Some can be easy to kept such as Zebra danio, some can be a little more challenge such as Neon Tetra and some are horribly hard to like some of those Killifish or black water dwarf cichlid. |

undergravels are practically the simplest and easiest filters there are. I highly recommend them for small tanks. I redesigned my skipper tank to be more beach-y. They seem to like the change.

I use external power filters. They may or may not work better, as I've never used anything else. My tank now has 14 white clouds, 2 baby comet goldfishes, 5 amano shrimp, 6 ghost shrimp, 2 nerite snails, many pond snails, and an assassin snail, so it's rather crowded, but I have 3 times as many filters as is reccomended and do a lot of waterchanges so it's fine. The goldfish will either be sold to a local petshop or be released in a private goldfish pond when they're too big to swim comfortably in my tank, |

I think he just got the pond snails accidently and want to get rid of them.... Dwarf puffer and loaches are more effective at this job though. |
