Coldwater Fish Suggestions

Sunday January 11, 2009
This forum member needs help choosing fish suitable for an unheated tank. Can you help?

"I have set up a small 20L cold water fish tank for my daughter. It has been set up for 11 days and today she has added 7 small white cloud minnows. She is already asking for more fish so i have said we need to let these settle first about 2 weeks.

Bill mentioned getting 6 WCMs then after 2 weeks get another 6 WCMs. He stated she could add 2-3 small corys. I dont think this is possible as i live in the UK and the tank water will be too cold for them?!

So with the 7 WCMs are there any other suggestions as to what she can keep in the tank in the not to distant future? Any ideas greatfully recieved."
