What Fish Can I Keep in a 40 Litre Aquarium?

A 40-litre tank is a great size for a beginner. We actually prefer starting off with a larger tank because more water = more stabilisation and less work for you! This tank is large enough to create a proper aquascape and keep a small community of fish, but manageable and easy to maintain. Here are some popular options:

Fish Type Notes
Neon Tetras Tropical Schooling fish: keep in groups of 6+. Peaceful and very popular.
Guppies Tropical Hardy, colourful and easy to keep. Great for beginners.
Endlers Tropical Similar to guppies but smaller. Lively and full of colour.
Pygmy Corydoras Tropical Bottom dwellers that help keep the substrate clean. Keep in groups of 4+.
Betta Fish Tropical One male betta makes a stunning centrepiece fish. Do not keep two males together.
White Cloud Mountain Minnows Coldwater No heater needed. Hardy, peaceful and great for a coldwater setup.
Small Goldfish (single tail) Coldwater Suitable for one small goldfish as a juvenile, will need a larger tank as it grows.
Nerite Snails / Cherry Shrimp Tropical / Coldwater Great tank cleaners. Compatible with most peaceful community fish.

⚠️ Heads-up: Avoid overstocking a 40 litre tank. As a general rule, allow at least 1 litre of water per 1cm of adult fish body length. A lightly stocked, well-planted tank will always be healthier and easier to maintain than an overcrowded one.
