help! what do i do

[rsalinas5]

i have a 13 gal and i was wondering if it was possible to put one dovii a pleco and a clown loach. or if someone can tell me more or less what i can do with this 13 gal i have. please help

 

[cambo01]

short answer no, did you mean a 130gal? what are the dimentions

 

[rsalinas5]

no its a 13 gal i know its small, but it was a gift from the future mother in law so its not like i can ask her to return it to get a bigger one. any advice on what i get for my SMALL tank

 

[cambo01]

if you like plecs you would get away with a bristlnose plec, females look like reg plecs but only grow to 4-5"

everything else is up to you, i dont no about ciclids but there maybe a smaller alternative to a dovii

i would prob go with dwarf puffers if i had a spare 13 gal tho

if you really want cichlids, go with a pair of Neolamprologus multifasciatus, they are very fun interesting little fish

I wouldn't suggest cichlids for a tank that size. Don't get a clown loach, they get way too big for a 13G. A good alternative loach is a kuhli loach. They look way cooler (in a tank < 20G), and are way smaller.

you could always go for a fighting fish and a adf>african drawf frog corys>
then say "oh dear ive got the fish bug then go out and buy a nice big 250us gallon and enjoy filling that

and if the wife complains you can blame it on her mother!!!!

you can put a betta in the tank with a bristol nose pleco .. or two or three german rams and pleco or some platy's and pleco..
