Many of us have been in quarantine and finding ways of coping with staying at home. The nano aquarium hobby has taken off and there are some choices to make when it comes to finding the right inhabitants for your nano sized aquarium (nano is anywhere from a few gallons up until 15 gallons).
When it comes to a smaller sized aquarium, the layout of plants and hardscape can give an aquascape very nice aesthetics. The depth created from the design gives the tank its appeal. Not only do the aquatic plants and hardscape such as driftwood and stones complement one another but it can mimic what one sees in Mother Nature.The fauna within an aquascape also plays an important role in creating an overall sense of tranquility. Nano fish are our top picks when it comes to livestock selection for an aquascape. Not only do many of these fish swim in a coordinated direction but this adds an additional element to the planted tank, resembling the open nature with flocks of birds flying. Here are some of our top picks for nano fish.
