Hi there
I kept fish about 10 years ago however haven’t kept them since and thought I’d ask for help here! Things might have changed and I’m considering myself a newbie again! We are looking at getting an aquarium for our kitchen and was wondering if the following stock would be OK? Currently deciding between the 5 gallon Fluval Chi and the 12 gallon Fluval Edge for Coldwater fish.
Fluval Chi:
3 Endlers Guppy
3 Clown Killifish
10 Cherry Shrimp
2 Zebra snail
Or
1 Betta
10 Cherry Shrimp (I have concerns these may be eaten by the betta!)
2 Zebra Snail
Fluval Edge:
5 Endlers Guppy
5 Clown Killifish
5 Gold Cloud Mountain Minnows
10 Cherry Shrimp
Small group of dwarf catfish (either Asian Stone Catfish or Dwarf Cory’s)
2 Zebra Snails
Is there any other option for me with these Coldwater tanks? I love bristlenose plecs, would they be an option for the 12 gallon?
Also if anyone has any experience with these tanks I’d be really grateful for any info on what they’re like - the 12 gallon worries me as it only has a small opening at the top for access.
Thank you!

Sorry this came up in active and I misread it as "Fishnet Stocking Help" 🤣🤦♀️
Maybe my snafu will bump it for you though.

Thank you - yes I’d be looking at ‘temperate’ rather than staunch cold water. Our house is warm so I’m not too worried about the temperature dropping too far down. I’m reluctant to get a heater as the reason I stopped fishkeeping last time was because the heater malfunctioned overnight and cooked my fish. Was traumatised!
I’d get a male only group of endlers to avoid breeding - would these be no good in the chi?
Thanks so much for your reply!
