5 Gallon Stocking

[fatheadminnow]

So I might be bringing my 5 gallon to my dorm, with mature filter media of course, and I just wanted to know what kind(s) of fish could I could put in a 5 gallon...trying to keep it simple?

I was thinking endlers?

Thanks

simple for uni - Betta / endlers / a pair of mollies?

But I'd go for Dwarf Puffers if you can - one of them on your desk is so entertaining! They are just such intelligent and fun fish!

So a 5 gallon would be big enough for one DP?

They are really neat fish for sure!

Erm yeah - just the one I think, that's what I was told over in the oddball section..

You could get a couple of ottos too - if it's planted well

Nice!

I was doing a little searching on the good old net, and it seems like DP love watching you a lot, but are camera shy!

And like to eat snails!

I would say a DP and 1-2 ADF (maybe 3). I keep my DP with 1 (was 2 but one died since he refusing to eat) and have no problems. My tank is very well planted and has good filteration. My dp is cool and keep to himself.

It isn't as popular as actual fish, I know, but I love the idea of a small planted tank with only shrimp. They're such neat little buggers to watch.
