Hey guys,
so my wife just got me this 60l tank for my birthday and we just finished setting it up. So now i am wondering what kind of fish would suit my aquarium.
We were thinking of putting in shrimps and maybe a betta or neon tetras. I’d really like a fish that stands out against the green and brown tones of the tank.
I am open for any recommendations 🙂

It’s a tad small for multiple fish or anything that swims a lot, so be careful not to overcrowd it. I would use it as a betta tank. You can really show people that “just a betta” doesn’t have to be in a small, boring bowl on a shelf, and it’ll last way longer and look way prettier than the old timers and kids that throw them in those little 1-2 gal hexagon tanks
A suggestion if you want a school rather than a single fish: clown killies or other micro-killifish would do well in this setup. You would want to invest in a fine mesh lid as they do jump, but that advice covers any fish you’d want to put in this tank.
I think a single male betta would have a blast in that. Be sure to leave a couple of strong plants for him to rest
i’d do red cherry shrimp and ember tetras!
Yeah this would be a bad ass Betta tank or a shrimp tank!
Does it have a heater? A solid dark colored background would help hide the equipment and help colorful fish stand out too. I’d suggest ember tetras and/or ruby tetras. Possibly a few shrimp too. But it all depends on your water conditions. Make sure your tank goes through the nitrogen cycle properly first or else you risk losing a bunch of fish.
Not big enough for neon tetras to feel safe to shoal. On bioload only, you would be looking at 6 neon tetras, which isnt fun to watch like a shoal of 30 would be. Get a beautiful Betta and some snails.
Is there a lid? If so a Betta!
A honey gourami and inverts of your choice
I dont think this is how you used a water cooler…..
Get a solid red betta and a bunch of red cherry shrimp the reds will pop so nicely in there!
SHRIMP
Dope tank, try some neon tetras
Cherry shrimp and Endler’s Live Bearers would be cool in there.
As many colorful fancy guppies that could fit- or a spectacularly colored betta!
Pearl or honey gourami
