A 2.5 tank? (yes about fish but not bettas ) X3

[Dozzem]

I got a 2.5 tank with a filter and light (for only 5$ hehehe). Its really cute :D I would love another betta but if I want to own a pet store or an online pet store :D I would need to know about more then bettas!!! And I think it would be fun to try somthing else.

I do have a heater if I need it, a lot of fake plants and can easly get more! The only problem is that I still need to change the filter out and get a new light.

I was thinking about a goldfish! (I had one once when vERY young... it died fast) So maybe I can try (not my mummy). I was also thinking about those tiny neon fish or a few shrimp. Snails would be cool. I would really want a GUPPY or two hehehe but I really don't want to over crowed anything. So a goldfish, shrimp, little fish, snails, GUPPY or anything else?

So dose anyone know about a lot of fish facts that can help me out? I don't want to hurt anything.

If all fails I can gust go get another betta ;D

You can't have a goldfish, one needs a 30 gallon minimum. You could do snails, but not Apple Snails. You can definately do 3-4 shrimp, and I believe you could do 1 guppy

Goldfish need huge tanks. They are misunderstood like bettas and are often put in bowls.

[Dozzem]

Wow I never knew that about goldfish! So I can do a guppy? If I wanted shrimpys what type can they be?

[Dozzem]

bump

Any shrimp except for Bamboo Shrimp.....good kinds are Ghost Shrimp and Red Cherry Shrimp, and in a 2.5 I'd say you could do 1 Guppy happily

[Dozzem]

Awesome! I will look at what shrimp I can find, I also love the guppy idea! Can I do two(probly not tho..) ? Can I do a mix, like a mystery snail, like two ghost or cherry shrimp and maybe a moss ball?

I want more then one guy if I can!

[LittleBettas]

I think you could do 1 guppy and two or three ghost shrimp... but Im not 100% sure...

[Jessabell]

Guppies should be at least two or more. I've had them before..they should do fine in that size of a tank if you get two guppies, 1-2 gost shrimp, and a snail.

[LittleBettas]

No snail, they have HEAVY bio-loads, to much for a small tank (they need 5 gallons or more)
