Fish Wishes!

(Images aren’t mine, snatched from google)

Ok so I’ve thought about this for awhile and I’ve seen a couple of these guys in fish stores and done the research to figure out what’s going to be happiest in my 15G nano tank.

Honey Gourami as the centrepiece fish

When I see these guys iRL, they’re always inquisitive, swimming right up to things and then giving them a little pat with their feelers. They’re cute and interesting to watch. Generally considered a peaceful community fish but Reddit has been full of stories of them bullying their own kind until they die :< As they’re happy solo, I think I can give them a stress free life being the centrepiece fish of the tank with a few easygoing nano fish friends.

Or Sparkling Gourami as the centrepiece?

I love the idea of Sparklers. I fell in love with the YouTube series from Foo the Flowerhorn where they set up a tank with sparklers and amanos. In reality I think it’s very risky for the amanos; I’ve had LFS guys and Reddit posts give me anecdotes about the sparklers eating shrimp or killing them off slowly by beating them into hiding. Let’s be honest, I do this hobby to relax. I’m not going to have violence in my tank! Such a shame as they’re so pretty. The image of these guys with their turquoise scales and a backdrop of a bunch of baby blue jelly shrimps would be soo cool but I know there would be suffering so it would never be worth it.

Celestial Pearl Danios

Excuse the shitty iPhone vid. Sometimes you just have to go to see some fish iRL to figure if you’re really going to love them.

I’ll tell you what, every time I see these guys in real life they make my heart flutter with how stinking cute they are. They have beautiful colours and are so small. The ones I’ve seen in store have been about 0.8” in length.

Chilli rasbora

These are another species that always catch my attention in person. Their little faces and big eyes are too cute to handle and their body shape looks like a miniature red shark. They’re also micro predators so they would have a great time gobbling up the creatures and loose eggs in the tank. Thankfully their mouths are too small to do any damage to shrimps!

Extras;

When I think of all the gross lil non-fish creatures I would enjoy in a tank, my mind always gravitates to cherry shrimp or amanos. With amanos I think i’d like the peace of mind to rely on these lil dudes to clean up the nastier hairier algae if it turns up.

However, a hoard of cherries swarming the tank and filling it with bright colours would also be so fun! Blue jellies are the cutest but bright orange ones look like you’ve got a tank full of pre cooked shrimp or living cheetos.

Anyways, that’s my fish wishes! Im not going to get every one of these fish, just a centrepiece fish, some skrimps if compatible and a small shoal of nano fish.

Next weekend I might go to the LFS and see what I can find, I’m so excited!

Fish tank progress

Last Friday I got 6 danios for my tank and they have been thriving and dont appear to be stressed or acting strangely. They are all different sizes 2 are super tiny, 2 are medium size and 2 are quite big (fully grown?). That was just how they sold them to me.

However the 2 biggest ones keep fighting eachother quite intensely for a few minutes then randomly stop and continue swimming around like nothing happened. My tank has no water quality or temp issues with plenty of places to hide aswell as a consistent feeding time.

Danios apparently chase eachother around as play or something? The smaller ones do this often but there is no biting or relentless chasing just small bursts around the tank where it eventually ends. The bigger 2 do this with the others but with when it's just between eachother it's more standoffish and less chasey. They splash the water occasionally too during their fight.

Is this mating, aggression, play or establishing a pecking order? Or something else. All of my other danios are perfectly fine it's just these 2.

If anyone knows anything please tell me. I love fish and I would hate for them to be stressed especially when my plant growth and water cycle has been doing so well.

Thank you💕

P.S I already checked their fins for any signs of nipping but there wasn't any.

Just got him yesterday! The Boy! It took a month to cycle the tank and all that and I’m so happy with him. His name is Krill, he’s beautiful, I particularly love how there are these two red spots on his transparent tail and how his tail and fins kinda look like they have lineart, he’s perfect and I would kill for him.

Highlights of his first day home:

Swam into every little space it was physically possible for him to fit into.

Discovered cool hiding spots under the water filter and behind a cool rock.

Hugged the bush partially visible in the photo.

I also managed to get the first impression that he’s the opposite of shy because he swims up to the glass and all around the aquarium when I approach which is very cute.

And he spent so much time exploring and checking out every single thing in the aquarium, honestly good for him.

Its a good job its a new ser up that I’m currently working my way through cycling because I think any fish would be distraught to see Santa had decided he has had enough and was found floating face down in the tank… 🎅😂😂😂

Feeding the 40 long. Finnley was mad because I usually drop in his algae wafer first, I didn't tonight, and he threw a fit, lol

🫧 🐟 ACNH Aquarium Set 2 🐟 🫧

Sims 4, Base game compatible. 30 items - I have added extra swatches to many of the items 🌺

Type “animal crossing aquarium2” (no space between aquarium and 2) into the search query in build mode to find quickly. You can always find items like this, just begin typing the title and it will appear.

📁 Download (SFS, No Ads): HERE

📁 Alt Download (still no ads): HERE

🐙 Aquarium Set 1 is HERE 🦑

Always suggested: bb.objects ON, it makes placing items much easier. For further placement tweaking, check out the TOOL mod.

Use the scale up & down feature on your keyboard to make the items larger or smaller to your liking. If you have a non-US keyboard, it may be different keys depending on which alphabet it uses.

As always, please let me know if you have any issues! Happy Simming!
