Fish Choices For An 11 Liter /2 Gallon Tank.

[Johnlenham]

Ok so I have this tank setup its cold water atm with a goldfish that was won at a dodgy carnival and given to me so im looking after it till i can re-home him but once ive done that im interested as to what I could put in it after either as a cold water set-up or buying a small heater and filter for tropical.

Any suggestions?

Not much in all honesty. Maybe a shrimp tank or a single male betta (siamese fighter fish).

 

[tenohfive]

Yep, same - one betta. Or maybe 6 ember tetra's, you might get away with that.

They look interesting enough how many could I get away with do you think?

i personally wouldn't put endlers in a tank that size due to there breeding

a male betta / shrimp / ADFs (african dwarf frogs) would be ok though

OK well I may have found a pond for my goldy to join so for a beta am I going to need a filter and my water seems to stay at around 26-28degrees so is that ok for a beta or will i need a heater also?

A small shoal of boraras maculatus (coffee bean rasbora) might go in there. Maybe some Oryzias sp. 'neon green'. Grow to 1.5cm:

Yep you will need a filter for a betta, providing your tank doesnt go below the 26 mark you should be ok without a heater.

Would this work ok?

I checked the next one up with flow control but its for up to 90 liters!
Even the one ive linked is for up to 45. 4 times the size of my tank lol

Oh even cheaper one which suits me fien

You could get away with 3 or 4 male endlers. No females means no population explosion. Another option would be Micropoecilia picta although they are harder to find.

If you do a complete water change every 2-3 days, you should be fine without a filter. A lot of people keep bettas without a filter or heater.
You will need to constantly feed them live food though.

Yeah I'd go for a small all male endler group

Just wondering, what are the dimensions of the tank?

Endlers would be a good choice as they stay very small and are very colourful.

Some brands do small filters for tanks that size too.

Good luck
