Native Keeper Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Hi everyone! My grandfather has some open 29 gallons that he's looking to full with some coldwater fish. He wants some new species, so no goldfish or WCMMs. Any fish you can think of that could live in these tanks that are coldwater tolerant will be considered! Thx in advance!

Fish Folk Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I'll add . . . for a wild array of US Native possibilities from all 50 states, I've been working on this . . . As an inspiring example, here's a young guy in Michigan who makes beautifully edited videos, who just went out and built this tank set up from random stuff he found around where he lives in Michigan. I couldn't stop watching... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to say coldwater meaning 68-72 as an "optimal temp". 1. Loaches (zebra, yo-yo, dwarf chain, kuhli, etc.) 2. Hillstream / Borneo loaches. 3. Mountain/River fish, Minnows 4. Endlers 5. Barbs 6. Panda Corys 7. Plecos 8. Danios 9. Ricefish Edited April 20, 2022 by nabokovfan87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
