They spend a lot of time swimming around, and would appreciate a good deal more room. Personally, I'd go with the cherry barbs. They tend to be calm fish, and don't need to be kept in large groups like other barbs. Just to clarify, you will need a heater if you want tropical fish. A twenty-five watt heater should do the trick. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

zachjc_14 Enthusiast Posts: 205 Kudos: 211 Votes: 24 Registered: 20-Apr-2004	I second the cherry barb notion as the albino pair that currently reside in my 10 gallon are stunnimg with the addition of dark substrate and background.

Annasmommy Big Fish Posts: 407 Kudos: 569 Votes: 1 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	You don't need a heater for most killifish. They don't need much if any filtrateion as long as you change the water, and they have some intense coloring! I was given a pair and they are pretty cool.
