heather Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I picked up a 22L AR126 now I just have to decide what to put in it! At first I thought maybe some Danio's and a Siamese Fighter but when I got it up and running the water flow seems too strong for that. Any ideas on how to decrease the flow? Maybe just fill it with male guppies? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Danios would be able to handle it. They love strong currents. Maybe some Zebra danios or WCMM's and maybe afew BNs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirkus Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 if your using the spray bar, turn it so its facing backwards, itll defuse the flow so slower moving fish will feel more comfortable(just make sure it doesnt start leaking). if you can get a hold of Endlers livebearers, they would be ideal in there. they are closely related to guppies but are smaller, more colourful and dont predate on their own young which make them ideal for to be thrown into a tank and left to it. the only problem you may have is locating them...?

Tsarmina Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 i have a Jebo r338 (38L) which has a fast flow and my danios love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljtan55 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 The flow slows down quite a bit with the all-in-one aquariums IMO, they get clogged up by themselves. But yeah Siamese fighters don't handle current too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heather Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 What about something a little bit different. Isn't there some sort of freshwater or brackish puffer or gobie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Bumblebee Gobys can be brackish, and you can acclimatise Mollies to brackish apparently. You can get Greenspotted and Figure Eight Puffers, but I think they have to go full Marine later in life. You can also get Freshwater Puffers, the LFS had some that looked pretty cute, but I think they will munch anything that passes by, including fish, as will the other puffers mentioned. Info here http://badmanstropicalfish.com/brackish/brackish.html 22l is probably a bit small for puffers, considering 10 US Gallons is 37 litres.
