FriendlyLoach Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hey everyone, I am going to do a North American biotope in a 20 gallon for a school. Does any body know of any fish that look like the fish below (I can't keep trout 😞) that stays about 2-3 inches, and is captive bred? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Blake Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 If you want trout the CPD reminds me of a brook trout however not US native. if you want the biotope for a US hill stream you can get rainbow shiners and rainbow darters for a 20 gallon I would get 3 darters for a 20 long and do about 10 shiners. You could have a orange spotted sunfish in a 20 tall they are very pretty and aggressive like a cichlid that dose best alone and with lots of wood.

Taylor Blake Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 You could also go with yellow fin shiners  or saffron shiners I am trying to get warpaint shiners for my 300 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The nano tank man Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I love native or american biotopes. Id get some small sunfish or bluegill or othwr species of parish that you are willing to upgrade in the future. Also add some small catfish or creek chums. Also maybe sone crayfish as bottom dwellers might help to clean up after the rest. You might get a school of 20 some flathead minnows. But because they are so small they might have to be alone. You can also do a small trout tank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
