Theresa_M        Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004    | There are actually a number of options for a 6g: -male betta and ADF -2-3 female bettas, depending upon their personalities -killiefish -male Endler's -dwarf puffers -pair of cherry barbs (very pretty) -sparkling gouramis -shellie tank (pair of N. brevis) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

Water quality will also be an issue, as pollution could overtake it very quickly. Personally id keep nothing more than a shrimp or two, maybe a couple of plants. You could breed snails in it , maybe have a species of dwarf xenopus (african clawed frog- but ONLY the dwarf kind)- and no fish in with them -they hate fish.). Fish really need bigger tanks than this,so its back to the drawing board. |

goldfishgeek Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 412 Votes: 38 Registered: 27-Oct-2003 | I'd try and slow the current down and get a betta! maybe put baby guppies in there to grow up or a female to give birth prehaps??? its difficult, with 100% Water changes you switch the filter off and keep a Betta GFG Never be bullied into silence.
