Aquarium livestock

Fish, shrimp, snails and amphibians for planted tanks, with minimum tank size, water range, temperament and whether they eat shrimp.

160 entries, grouped by type.

Fish 129

Sorted by what actually decides whether they fit: adult size, minimum tank, group size and whether they eat shrimp.

Shrimp 11

Almost no bioload and they graze algae all day. What limits them is water hardness and anything big enough to eat them.

Snails 10

Algae and leftovers. The questions are whether they breed in fresh water and whether they eat plants.

Other invertebrates 6

Crabs, crayfish and clams. Read the notes before buying: several of them are not fully aquatic or not fully freshwater.

Amphibians 4

Frogs and newts. They need to reach the surface for air, and several of them run cooler than a tropical planted tank.
