I hope it will survive, that´s not an easy moss 😀😕

Any advice for the population?

Can't choose beetween these;

-green neon tetra (simulans)
-mosquito rasbora (b.briggitae)
-ember tetra (h.amandae)

Thanks!
 
Well said, thanks for the advice! 😉

Any other opinion for stocking this ada 60F (60cm long but only 30 liters)?
 
Or tetras that pop: http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/microdevario-kubotai/
And rasboras that blend http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/brevibora-dorsiocellata/ 😀 😀
Ultimately it's yourself keeping them, so it's hard to recommend, Jack Reilly has lovely gold tetras http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/45-cm-cube-iwagumi-my-first-tank.41954/page-3 and Alexander has stunning flame tetras http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/aqua-at-pet-shop-season-2-layout-6.38273/page-5 ... too many to choose from! ☺
 
As you said too many...gold and flame tetra grows too big for my tank, but I really love the kubotai!

Now I'm stuck beetween these two:

Ember tetra:
Pros : -awesome colors, right size, schoaling fish, not jumping
Cons: - very shy fish

Rasbora kubotai:
Pros : -nice colors, OK size, very active fish that love to swim, not shy at all
Cons: -likes to jump, green colour (already got very green plants in this tank)

:crazy::lol:
 
I'd like to add to list dwarf pencil fish - nannostomus marginatus. Not shy at all, and don't think it will jump. Mostly liked upper part of the tank, but in shallow tank it does not matter.

Nice fish, thanks! but my tank has no heater (20-21degrees celsius in Winter and 26-27degrees in summer), and a medium-strong flow...:/
 
That is sweet headache that you have choosing the fish! Haha!

Anyway, for ember tetra, you can use some dither fish to make it less shy. After sometimes, it will be more bold and come out to show off.

So, I went to an big LFS and they had the biggest choice of nano fish I've Ever seen (sundadanio, galaxy, ember, simulans, kubotai, borara sp, ruby tetra, nannostommus etc etc...)!

They had fully grown adult simulans , gorgeous looking but definitly too
Big for my tank (up to 3,5cm!)

Loved the ruby tetra but seems to not school as I wanted too

I'm 90% sure I will end with the same population that in my ex iwagumi; 10-15 ember tetra with 5 kubotai (as dither fish)

:facepalm:

live life dangerously & bring home a species you've not kept before 😀

Sundadanio I think are especially lovely in a big glittering school - which variant?

I'd agree, in that variety in fish is definately an advantage to MTS 😀 though too much choice can be overwhelming 🙁

Danionella is also another diminutive species translucida or dracula & although Norman's Lampeye are too jumpy for your tank maybe clown or rocket killifish may be better as less jumpy? Another forum member Mark Evans used clowns (& also has lovely Ricca!) ☺
