2.5 Gallon Metaframe Tank....>.>

[Shovelman]

hmm well had this neat little, and old, 2.5 gallon metaframe tank with the old slate piece on the bottom attached to the glass and so on and so forth.

So i took off the old cracked black aquarium sealant and will be re sealing it probs this week. and then leak testing it.

my question is....what shoud i do with it? Obviously make it an aquarium, but what fish, if any?

betta always seems to be an option....but a boring one at best...

any other stock recommendations? Could i skip fish and possibly try an african dwarf frog? or is it simply too small..? never really had African dwarf frogs before...

arent there some kinds of really small badis and killifish?

idk....suggestions welcomed..lol

Tetra's make excellent small tank fish. You could always do a nano habitat.

With a tank that size I'd go for Shrimp, I've got a Fluval Spec (~2 gallons) quite heavily planted with some Cherries and Amanos and they love it in there.

was just talking to a guy who keeps them. I think ill do some more research...as far as your link, thank you! If he has 4 in a 5 gallon im sure 1 or possibly 2 would be fine in my 2.5 gallon just needs careful planning thats all..
