Doing a high tech 9gal fluval flex. iwagumi with a Monte Carlo carpet. I have the aquarium with seiryu rock. I'm in the planning stages (will probably take a month) to setup the scape.

I've been thinking about live stock options but I'm limited to temperature and size. My temp will be 23°C to avoid Algae and promote healthy Plant growth. I will be using either amono or cherry shrimp. But I'm also looking for a fish or too. Any recommendations? Also looking for some snails.

Beautiful fish. Love the red accents and the yellow dots! They will definitely pop against the lush green carpet and Seiryu rock. Any recommendations for snails? Preferably a snail that cleans the aquariums algae.

For a small tank I would recommend either horned near right snails because they don't get as big, for some Ram's Horn snails. The red Rams Horn snails I find particularly pretty. Both are good cleaners.

How would pea puffers do In a 5gal? I've always found them playful and interesting.

They prefer to being groups of five or more and really need a 20 gallon aquarium or larger for a group.
You could possibly do a single pea puffer in a 5 gallon but I would not recommend it.

Best to keep them in a larger aquarium then. Wouldn't want to make the little guy confined.

My only issue is galaxy rasboras are extremely hard to find where I'm located...

Celestial Pearl danios, endless (particularly males), emerald Rasbora, ember tetras, betta, pigmy corydoras... Those are some I can think of off the top of my head that would do fine in a 5gal.

Just a heads-up, the pea puffer would destroy your snails and any shrimp you would put in there. They are cute little buggers but really predatory.

Celestial Pearl Danios are nice room temperature fish. I have had them in a fluval spec and they really looked nice. They remind me of little trout. They are active, peaceful, and colorful with no demand for a heater. One less piece of equipment to fail and cook a fish.

I also had 3 pea puffers/malabar puffers/dwarf puffers (the tiny true FW ones) in a 15 gallon hex. They were surprisingly active and mobile. Despite their small size, they need a surprisingly large amount of room.

aquahuna.com sells celestrial pearl danios, you should check them out. I'm not sure if they are currently in stock but they do have them in periotically. They also have a great selection of shrimp, I think they may ship internationally but I'm not sure. I know that they are located in the U.S and ship to Canada.

I've picked up 6 at a local store definitely come at a price!
