Nanofish List (v1.0)

[ravenmyth]

I would be against trying 2 males. I agree with your concern about territorial issues. Thats why I did 2 females once and a male/female pair the other time. I would note my females have always more than held their own against the males---chasing them off if they became too agressive about food etc.

The least and pygmy killies you could keep a couple pairs in a 2.5. You could keep a single bluefin killie in one.

Also you could keep a pair of one of the pygmy sunfish (Elassoma sp) species.

You also might could get away with a couple of endler's livebearers, but I'm not sure since I've never worked with them before, so I don't really know their requirements.

Hey Fishlover-
re: The least killifish (Heterandria formosa), Pygmy killifish (Leptolucania ommata), bluefin killifish (Lucania goodei), pygmy sunfish (Elassoma sp)

Was the info you reported on them from personal experience/knowledge of success of these particular fish in 2.5 g? If so, I wanted to mark it in the excel table

Thanks..
