Stocking a 9 non std tank
Hey everybody!
I have a 9gallon Eheim tank that is quite different in size.
It is rather high, and not really long.
I used to have a dwarf puffer but it unfortunately died on me while I was on vacation. I thought I gave it enough snails, but looks like I didn't
I really like it altho, now I can't think of what fish I could put in it.
I'm wanting to get a betta, altho I'd really like to get non standard fish.
My question is,
What would YOU guys put in a 14" x 12" x 12" high tank?
Any of you Montrealers able to supply me with any fish that would greatly enjoy this planted tank?
Cheers!

Just make sure it has a lid.

I would give that space to a betta fish!
So...I am not very helpful!
Looking forward to seeing what else others suggest and what you decide on for this tank!

My first thought is shrimp. Sorry, I don't breed shrimp so I cannot supply you.
My second thought is sparkling gouramis. Sorry I don't have these either but I loved them when I had them.
