Bedside Freshwater Tank Ideas

[Joe M]

Considering you said bedside, i'm not sure if you want to setup a fire eel tank, since they would basically require a 200G+ tank which i don't know qualifies for a bedside tank

Not to mention, that they have been known to thrash around at night some times when they are trying to escape which may wake you up in the middle of the night with a panic attack?

Otherwise, one of the many freshwater puffers could be an interesting addition? they are aggressive eaters, and very interactive

Well I have a 125 bedside tank. Does that qualify?

I really love having that tank in my room though. Its so cool to fall asleep to that tank with the moonlights on.

Shell dwellers are a tytpe of cichlid whos life revolves around shells. They sleep in them, they breed in them and they raise their babies inside them. Great and super intresting lil colonies, constant digging of sand. They are contstantly moving their shells around. Honestly they make ideal bedside tanks. I keep 20 longs in my room filled wioth shellies, I also have a shellies tank in the guest room.

haha, they sound like funny little fish that are fun to watch

Don't get me wrong, i would love to have a large tank in my room too, although the g/f probably wouldn't like it quite as much...

I only said i didn't think it qualified as a bedside tank, since in my mind, most bedside tanks aren't overly big... although with that being said, if you have the space for one, no reason not to go monster

this would be a guaranteed lay, but I also want to watch them while I'm falling asleep.

I now need 2 more tanks

Yeah i gotcha. I had a 55 for a long time and it was great. I just needed to upgrade and had the space so I went for it. It really works well where it is, and its actually dead silent despite the overflows and wet/dry filter, which was a requirement for me.

A 200 can count as a bedside tank. It takes up the entire length of the bed, literally running along the entire side.

I agree with shell dwellers. They're fascinating. A lot of them are very plain colored, but the behavior more than makes up for it. You could go with dwarf puffers. They only get one inch long, a male and female can be kept together in a 10 gallon, and they will wipe out any and all snails (probably not MTS). A pair of blue gullaris killies might be interesting too.
