I catch a lot of least killifish in my neighborhood lake while dip netting and decided to take some home. I'm actively keeping them with 2 guppies 2 flag fish and 2 otocinclus. The flatfish are going to be moved into my 38 gallon this week. What should I do with my least killies?

Keep them in a heavily planted species tank under 20 gallons, the others may not eat the least killies, but they will eat baby least killies

I developed a tank just for them, a 16 H with a lot of plants, floating, substrate stem, and water column types as well as rhizome sorts, and the 20 I purchased are doing well, reproducing, with a single ghost shrimp. Interesting fish! One was accidently placed in a 15 L with a lot of flow as I took a platy out of the 16 that was keeping the tank cycled. It alone is doing well with white clouds and platys and gamely holds it's own there.
