What fish should I get for a 15 litre, unheated fishtank?
Jan 26, 2009 by lynzi_n_eel | Posted in Fish
My son has been bought a 15 litre tank for Christmas. It has a filter, air pump and stuff with it, (look up Spongebob aquarium kit/Spongebob themed fish tank starter kit) but it says suitable for 2 goldfish and I know that's not right.
I thought about a Betta but the tank will only be at room temperature, and I don't know what others might be suitable.
Could anyone advise me please as to what type of fish and how many would be most suited for this tank?
Many thanks
Lynzi
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ANSWERS!
I will buy a small heating element for him and probably buy a Betta then, or perhaps two Guppies (He did say he wanted two fish) I'll show him the options, see which he prefers the idea of.
Thank you all again!
15 litres is about 4 U.S. gallons.
You're right about the goldfish. In my opinion you'd need a minimum size of 30 gallons (115 litres) to keep two goldfish healthy.
The least killifish, Heterandria formosa, is small enough for that tank and can get along without a heater. It is native to Florida and Georgia, and is in fact the smallest vertebrate of North America.
A pair of guppies would also be suitable, but then you'd need another tank for their babies.
The tank size is OK for a betta, but it should have a heater.
You could also get a small heater for a 4-gallon tank: one of 10 watts or less would be suitable.

Fear of the Surface Monster: Films from the Sea Monster Perspective
30.08.11
Picture provides an interesting window into what is happening beneath the waves. Filmmakers flair perceptions of the ocean through their portrayal of sea creatures. The watery depths are a incomparable setting and a distinct, beautiful, and mysterious world. Traditionally, humans proceed in two ways to alien mystery: wonderment and fear. The timidity of the ocean comes from its inherent danger to people: drowning, Siberian, and animal attacks. Seemingly, the seas are a hostile out of sight, and storytellers convey warnings using this fear.
Filmmakers use this misgivings to create stories of conflict between land dwellers and the residents of the briny acute. Large sharks terrorize beaches. Grander sharks and jumbo octopi cause vast destruction in their colossal struggles. Even make-believe sea creatures such as kraken and siren drag sailors to their underwater demise. In these films, sea creatures are the serious aggressors. They are monsters of the sea, or sea monsters. They are the enemy in a war for the seas: mankind versus the sea monsters. Anxiety creeps beneath the waves.
It is a little more hassle than freshwater tanks but the fish are beautiful. If you pay someone to come in and maintain then you should be fine. Besides cleaning and monitoring levels there isn't too much more to it. Also you will need to pay some to attention to any strange behavior or "spots" on your fish. Ich can be a problem from time to time. Saltwater Aquarium guide If you are looking for an aquarium in your office, make sure you use a quality service company, because a lot of so called "Aquarium Pros" are fly by night scammers. Find someone that has been in the biz for at least 5 years and has a good rep with others in your area. Check for insurance and a biz license as well. A good rule of thumb for estimating the cost of a new aquarium is to multiply the size in gallons by $50, thus a 100 gallon tank will run about $5, 000 to get up and running. You are not logged in.
