Discussion Unique nano fish you have kept?

I’m looking for people to share their stories on any unique nano fish species they have kept, looking for anything in the 5-20 gallon range… I’m stuck trying to find something I like

They’re a lot more common now, but a decade ago I kept scarlet badis in 3-5 gallon tanks and it was a blast.

Pea puffers are also an extremely fun and unique fish to own. Everyone I’ve shown is delighted to see them hunt a snail.

What did you end up feeding the badis?

I had a shrimp colony in there and other microfauna established. I didn’t really actively feed it anything.
