I have a 2 gallon tank, what should i get for it that would look really really nice?

 

[paul_219]

Maybe Shrimps will be fine i guess.

2g isnt really good for anything
unfortunatly

 

[murphyk32]

not lookin for negative posts,, i relise its a small tank that cant have much but im lookin for an idea still (besides betta)

 

[fishwatcher]

a betta, or 2 ADFs, or shrimp or snails... that's about it really. Kind of small, so you're really limited. If you have a light and planted it really heavy, some shrimp would look cool there.

Sorry about the betta suggestion... we were posting at the same time!
If it will have a filter and heater you may also do a pair of sparking gouramis... in a planted tank they would be awesome! Beautiful little fish!!

lol no prob on the betta thing,, like u said posted same time,, umm,, sparking gouramis,, never heard of them,, i might look into it.. thanks,, ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS? KEEP THEM COMMIN

The sparkling g's are cute little things... only about an inch long. Under subdued lighting you see where they get their name. I have a few a year or so ago, lost them unfortunately, but would love to get them again.

Honey Gourami should be okay, going with the 1 inch per gallon rule. Does it have a filter? Gouramis don't really need a filter, but benefit from it greatly...
Other thing would be a female Dwarf Gourami.

Yes it does have a filter and is cleaned on a very regular basis aswell,, does have heating aswell

Male dwarf gourami wouldnt work? jw cuz u said female

Okay then like I said Honey Gourami, or Female Dwarf Gourami will be fine.

Don't do a gourami, IMO too active for a two gallon.

Any suggestions then??

I'd get 4 amano or cherry shrimp and an apple snail. Plant it w/ Riccia and dwarf hairgrass and your set.

Only thing I could see living there is a betta... sorry. Or some shrimp and snails. Maybe an adf or 2. Tank is pretty small, like n3ont3tra said, I think it'd be too small for gouramis... but you can get some really pretty shrimp. Try aquabid.com (if you're not in the Uk), some of their shrimp are verrry pretty!
