Hello! I am seeking advice again :)
So before I outline the problem, can I make clear that this is not of my making..
A friend gave me a 30l biorb, which I plan to use as a shrimp tank at some point as it's faaaaaar too small for my fish.
However, the biorb has an lonely danio living in it, poor thing :( I know these are social fish, and ideally they need to be kept in a long tank in a group of 6+
I do not have the cash to set up another tank atm, and will probably be moving in a few months anyway so won't be doing any new fishy things till then.
So, my question is - do I leave the poor thing as it is? Or, as my OH suggested, should we get another danio - so we'd have two of them, which might be slightly better in terms of emotional welfare for the next few months with a view to a larger tank move at some point?
Neither option seems brilliant to me to b honest. I can't help but contrast the poor little fish's life with my goldies who have so much more in terms of space and quality of life :(
So, any ideas on what is the least worst idea would be welcome! (I don't know anyone who can rehome - I've tried. All my local fishkeeping friends either have koi, bettas or marine set ups)
Thank you so much for any advice :)
