Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hello everyone, I was hoping eventually get a vertical aquarium to fit into a built in shelfing space. Most likely the gallons would be around 10-25 with a 12 in Length and 8 in depth. Does anyone have any stocking ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLabelCarling Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Guppies all day! Lots of movement and color, plus they won't be phased by the vertical profile of the tank like some other fish might be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I second guppies for a taller aquarium. They are interesting, colorful, active and will use each level of the aquarium. Especially if you add guppy grass or something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryC Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) huge shrimp colony with lots of long cholla wood peices to simulate trees, they will all be standing on these like little woodpeckers lol!

RovingGinger Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I have guppies in a hex 10g and they’ve formed an odd natural hierarchy of size to water layer. Small babies at the bottom. Medium babies in the middle. Momma at the top. It’s trickle down fishonomics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I keep my Endlers in a 55 hex and they seem to do the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLabelCarling Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 @RovingGinger is it even possible for guppies to be organized?! 🤣🤣 Mine looks like somebody pulled the fire alarm in a crowded theater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ange Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 When I was getting advice on my 50 hex (footprint size of a 20L) I was told to stock it as if I'd stacked three 20H tanks on top of each other. Something similar would likely work for the tank you have in mind. My tank isn't drowned yet but I ended up going for a pair of Bolivian rams, a pair of angelfish, and some mollies. I'm still not 100% decided on any bottom feeders yet and will likely be moving in some Amanos from one of my other tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
