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. :)

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

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.
