Hello all! I have a 69 L (60 L actual) that I'm about to start stocking. Traditionally for my tanks, I've gone for one or two 'centrepiece' fish, and then a whole lot of schoolers. What I wanted to try with this one was a small group of individual fish - i.e., one per species, but on the larger side for this tank (say, up to 6 cm-ish). I've been reading up quite widely, and watching a (vast) number of YouTube videos for ideas but the problem I'm running into is that most of the suggestions have one of two issues: The fish has very different water chemistry requirements to virtually all of the other suggestions (e.g., bumblebee gobies) and/or needs to be kept in a species-only environment. It's debateable as to whether or not the fish will reliably get along with any of the other suggestions (e.g., GBRs/Dwarf Apistos/Gouramis etc) I'm not wedded to the idea, so I could definitely get one centrepiece + some schooling fish if I had to, but I wanted to try something a bit different this time. Any thoughts / experiences would be very much appreciated Tank is ~ 70% of the way through its cycle (ammonia 0.25 ppm, nitrites 2 ppm, nitrates 2 ppm), so it'll probably be another week to ten days before I buy the first inhabitant, and I'm in no particular rush. I currently have the water (non-phosphate) buffered to pH 6.8 / 4 dKH, and the plan is that it will be moderately well planted.

Due to the earthquakes I need to move from my apartment in Central Wellington and am unfortunately unable to take my 70 litre aquarium with me to my new place. The tank is a couple of years old, and comes with a filter, a pump, gravel, live plants and a some ornaments. The fish are; one quite large goldfish, a medium sized goldfish, a black telescope and 3 tetras that I need to rehome. I'm prepared to sell all together or separately, although would prefer if the goldfish could stay together as they seem to get on quite well. Please message me if you're interested or know someone who might be. I can provide pictures and more details if required. Thanks very much!

I'm looking to buy a freshwater species of puffer fish, ideally dwarf puffers but I could also be interested in a larger species of puffer as long as its a freshwater species. I'm in the nelson area.
