2.5 Mini Bow

[transposia]

I had this tank for a betta and he was a happy fish. My betta has recently passed on. It's a red 2.5 mini bow and it needs a new inhabitant. I don't really want to have another betta unless it's the only thing we can put in there. Are there any other fish that can live happily in a 2.5g tank? I certainly can't think of any....

Thanks!

Shrimps, dwarf livebearers or possibly microrasboras could do.

bettas, dwarf puffers, shrimps, ADF's, bumblebee gobie(freshwater type).
heres a good list of small fish http/www.franksaquarium.com/nanofish.htm

Do look up info on the possible candidates though. Just because a fish is small, doesn't mean it'll do well in a small tank.

OMgosh! I just remembered I have an Eclipse bow front 3gal in the garage.

I think I'll only set one of them up... now which should it be... I wonder I wonder...

Off to do some research on some smaller fish....

Shrimp sound interesting, would I have any fish, too? Where can I find some info on keeping shrimp?

The inverts section for shrimp info. If you want anything with them, the only thing I suggest is a betta.

bettas might eat shrimp, a full shrimp tank looks ace.
sometimes fiah arent needed
