Just got a little 3 gallon tank...

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.

I agree, I have one betta and he's in a 37 gallon tall with some rainbowfish, corydas, cherry barbs and rasboras. probably one of my favorite fish in that tank.

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

If you have a heater and a filter go with a couple of Pea puffers.

I'd be a little careful with the betta and the angel, your betta might go after his fins or vice versa, depending on how agressive your angel is.

as usual, your wife is right

Ok i have found a small school of cardinal tetra's always look nice.

betas also seem boring in bowls because enven tho they will live and survive at lower temps they would prefer 80ish temps.
