Northwest_Scapes_ Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hello! So I ended up coming across a group of 24 Least Killifish (HETERANDRIA FORMOSA) for sale at a really good price, and was wondering if this sounds too much for a 12g Patio Tub? It has no filter, just heavily planted with different floaters and bog plants. If it does, I have my main 37g Tub which I was going and still plan to use for Ricefish but since those are coming in a little later in the Summer, would it be a better idea to throw the least killis in there for now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A heavily planted 12g with floaters will be plenty for 24 least killifish. The population will explode quickly if you feed well but your floaters will help filter and they are a very hardy fish. I have a bunch in a 10g only running plants and air stones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkSw5-udjY0 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest_Scapes_ Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Holy Moly that is a sight! Thank you for the help! If the population does explode, I know some people I could give the extras to, so I think I'll do okay. Hoping they'll be successful outside also since this is my first time keeping them 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
