that's about 23 gallons?
I would have suggested a dojo loach, but that's too small for them.

someone else may have a better suggestion for you. 8)

Temps would be about right, 'subtropical', and 'White Cloud Minnows', but the water movement would have to be just about doubled.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!
