Just got a little 3 gallon tank...
I got a little 3 gallon tall-ish tank to set up on my nightstand :biggrin:
I was wanting to put a freshwater fish in it, but i dont know if that's too small for any freshwater fish? I've never had one before, but I'm knowledgable with marine set-ups so i'm thinking it shouldn't be too difficult. Is there a species you would recommend that wouldn't get too big and would be okay in a small set up? Thanks! |
Freshwater
YOU COULD PUT YOUR STANDARD BETTA'S IN IT NO PROBLEM..WHITE CLOUDS ARE OK TOO..GUPPIES ..BETTA IS THE BEST BET..NICE COLOURS FOR FRESHIES..AND SOME EVEN HAVE A LITTLE PERSONALITY. MAKE SURE ITS GOT A COVER CUZ THEY JUMP AS WELL.:biggrin:
|
Well i really didn't want to do a betta...
I've had so many. Boring. i think i rather meant Tropical freshwater fish. Like... an Angel? Or is that too big? |
Tetras?
|
You could put in killiefish, guppies, endlers livebearers, cherry shrimp.
|
Angels get too big
Angels get too big, if you dont like bettas, you could also try a few tetra's, aquatic miniature frogs?? plants..etc snails
|
I think Bettas get a bad rep. They're only boring because they're kept in tiny little cups and then expected to be exciting!! Hah. Silly, if you ask me.
My roommie has a betta in a 10G tank and it's SUPER active. Lots of personality. |

Do you have a heater? I'd suggest getting a little one or there isn't much that you'll be able to put in there...whiteclouds would work in an unheated tank, you could have a couple (they like to school) ...and yeah, given more room Bettas are way more interesting (but also should really be heated) I think Hydor makes a little nano heater. If you have a light you should do some live plants as well :)

Ya, got a Betta in a 2.5g and hes active. I want to put him in the 30g with my angel and tetras, but wife wont let me ofr some reason??
Anyways, neon tetras would be great in a 2.5g Could put 5-6 in there. Is there a filter on the tank? heater? tetras are schooling fish, need others. And dint grow that big, easy to keep and add alot of color when swimming in a school. I presently have 15 Neons in the 30g, Want another 10 |
