Which fish for a biOrb aquarium?

Which fish for a biOrb aquarium? This is an important question if you want to introduce fish to your biOrb aquarium while ensuring their well-being. If you ask yourself this question, this guide is here to help you.

If you are rather worried about the recommended quantities of fish for your aquarium, I invite you to read our guide dedicated to this subject .

We are therefore going to suggest a few species that you might be interested in depending on your biOrb and the style of fish you are interested in.

• The fighter (betta splendens):

If your aquarium is suitable and you wish to introduce a fighter, or a couple of fighters (not to be mixed with other species without having inquired beforehand, fighters, as their names indicate, are not fish the most peaceful), it is therefore necessary to be careful before integrating them into an aquarium, especially if there are already species present in it. The male is best known for his aggressiveness, but the female is not peaceful either. However, this species can be a very good choice for your biOrb, whether alone or in cohabitation with other fish. Depending on your preferences it is possible to get fighters of a lot of different colors, some much rarer than others. Here are some examples of existing colors:

• Guppies:
  

If you like fighters and their colors but prefer more peaceful fish or fish that live more in schools, an ideal choice for you could be guppies. These very popular little fish are great additions to aquariums, their school life (1 male for about 3/4 females) brings a life in constant evolution thanks to their ease of reproduction. In fact, guppies reproduce quite easily in an aquarium that meets the conditions necessary for their well-being. In addition, another peculiarity of the guppy is that they are ovoviviparous, that is, the young fry come directly "finished" from the womb of the mother and are already able to manage to swim and feed themselves, this which therefore allows an almost permanent life cycle, depending on the number of fish and the aquarium capacity you have, in addition to being able to witness the birth of all these small fry.

• Neon tetras, called blue neon:
  
  

Blue neon fish are very well known and very present in aquariums, they are blue and red fish that live in schools of at least 10 individuals and bring an impression of light in the aquarium. They are also peaceful fish that are quite simple to keep and they coexist very well with many species and will never or very rarely cause problems for other species , especially guppies with which they form a beautiful and simple combination in any aquarium. However, their passivity can lead to predation by other species, so be careful not to mix them with any other fish.

A few other species of shoals fairly close to neon could also be suitable, as long as the literage of the aquarium is respected. The Chinese minnow could for example also do the trick, it is much less known than the neon, but they have some similarities and are both quite easy to maintain, ideal fish for neophytes in this area. This species also needs to live in groups of at least ten in order to guarantee their well-being.



Or if you just want to stay in the blue neon family, then your attention might turn to neon colors of other colors like red neon which look quite similar to blue neon, but have a much more prominent red colored part than its blue counterpart. Apart from this fairly minimal difference, its behavior and maintenance remains the same as that of blue neon.

It should not however be forgotten that these fish are shoal fish, which means that they need food in groups, it is vital for their well-being and therefore their health, if you are not certain of being able to meet their need to live in a community, do not hesitate to find out about the number of fish you can have in your aquarium.

If you have any doubts about the capacity of your biOrb aquarium, do not hesitate to consult our guide on this subject:

• Neocaridina, a family of shrimps:
  

Neocaridina are a family of shrimps, divided into several different varieties and colors, which can easily acclimatize in small and large biOrbs. This allows them to be placed in many different environments where they will generally live in the bottoms and hiding places of the environment. Be careful, however, not to mix them with species of fish that feed on shrimp. In addition, these shrimp also need to live in groups and not alone, so do not be afraid to find out about the number of individuals necessary for their well-being as well as their living conditions and their needs. which are not particularly the same as the fish you are used to. Some colors are much less well known than others. Here are some examples:

• The little gouramis:
  

Small gouramis can be very good little additions to your biOrb, indeed these small, fairly passive fish like to blend into their environment and settle in quite peacefully while hiding in it, but don't worry. , it is nevertheless a fish that you will see fairly regularly wandering around the aquarium. Be careful to get a species that will remain small, because large Gouramis will need a much larger volume of aquarium to be able to live there properly.
