Before you choose from this collection
This page collects the fish that look their best against live plants and won't dig up or devour an aquascape. Everything listed is live stock held in our own system, dispatched with a licensed live-animal courier under our live arrival guarantee.
The ideal planted-tank fish are peaceful, plant-safe and colourful against greenery: shoaling tetras and rasboras, dwarf cichlids like rams and Apistogramma, corydoras, small gouramis and dwarf shrimp. They graze algae, shelter among stems and complete the scene without wrecking it.
Read the live-plant notes linked below before ordering. Avoid known plant-eaters and big diggers (silver dollars, some large cichlids, goldfish), and remember that a planted tank's stable, oxygen-rich water suits most peaceful community fish beautifully.

Peaceful, plant-friendly species: tetras, rasboras, danios, corydoras, dwarf cichlids such as rams and Apistogramma, small gouramis, and dwarf shrimp.
