Default BEST fish keep in 3ft tank?:)

Hi to all fishkeepers

I have a 3x1.5x1.5ft tank with two canister as filtration

Hope u can give me some suggestion whats the best fish i can keep in my tank.

First im planning to put one aro rtg coz some bros told me that i can keep aro in 3ft tank for about a year but its kind of expensive to me haha

Then i also think of tetras and corys but looks too small for 3ft tank. Hehehe

Quite undecided until now. Hope u can help me bros.

Really want active swimmer fishes

Thanks

Hi bro, if you want active swimming fish maybe can try zacco platypus or some of the larger sized barbs eg phoenix barb (spinibarbus denticulata)

Here is a link on some types of barbs, you can refer.

Otherwise, you can also consider channa, such as channa aurantimaculata, or maybe a medium sized puffer. However, mostlikely yo uwill be restricted to keeping only 1.

Hi TS, 3x1.5x1.5 cannot keep aro or any big fishes for long.. unless urs is a 4x2x2. But are u going to have a plan tank or a with deco inside? If plan tank u may go for FH or a school discus or angels? If u tends to deco your tank.. you can google tons of ideas of what u wan.. As small fishes like tetra will b your choices. This is jus my personal suggestion.
