FrozenFins Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) What size is your tank? 70 degrees seems to be a bit too cool for neon tetras and the plecos, not sure about the corys or danios. I would reccemend to get a heater if you intend to keep those fish. A nice budget freindly heater would be the "Tetra Pre-set heaters" There like $15-30 CAD at your local walmart. If you decide to run with a heater I would suggest the fish like a Betta, Apistogramma, Platys, Mollys. If you still want to keep the aquarium without a heater I would suggest either Rosy Barbs, or Whitecloud Minnows. Of course all the fish I've suggested will depend on your tank size.

CorydorasEthan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Great looking tank! Even with no heater, you still have plenty of options: endler's livebearers, peppered corydoras, panda corydoras, false julii corydoras, pretty much any danios, rosy barbs, and hillstream loaches to name a few.

Colu Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the forum nice tank neon like between 75 and 78 and bristlenose like a temp between 74 and 80 70 on the cold side I don't think they will do well at that temperature Edited May 19, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 I’ve had plecos before. Not bristle nose. But they did fine. And neons on the internet says 68-82 on temp. Thks for you input. I’m trying to ask about other fish to put in the tank. Not about what I already have in it. Thks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1moretank Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @Zeb i keep endlers and white clouds in separate unheated indoor tanks - not nearly as large as yours. Neither school very much, although white clouds hang together a bit. My endlers breed much faster than the white clouds, but the clouds don't seem to breed for me nearly as easy as "they" say they should. I have my first 5 cherry barbs, I think 4 male & 1 female, and I am finding them to be quite boring compared to my other fish, but I keep them in a heated tank. I think what you are hoping to see in terms of fish behavior will help you decide what to get. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
