Ok right now I have an empty 2.5 gal,5 gal,and sometime in the next month a 10 gal.I was just looking for different options for each tank.I really don't care that much about the 2.5 as everyone is just going to say bettas but I have plenty of them.I was possibly thinking about a Blue Crayfish for either the 5 or 10.But nothing for sure.I was thinking about a fish that could be by itself ,other than a betta.But it doesn't have to be a loner.Right now I have a couple platy's,1 lyretail molly(male) 3 oto's,6 long-finned zebra danios,1 clown pleco,and 3 glowlights,in my 29 gal.I would like to get something different.I Love guppies,as my name states,but I have always had guppies and would like to take a break from them.So any opinions will be very helpful.Thanks!

For the 5 gallon, what about a group of African Dwarf Frogs? They are small and don't take up too much room. 4-5 in the 5 gallon would be good (giving them 1 gallon each) They are also "different" then fish. If you want to try something other then fish...

For the ten gallon, I would go with a South American leaf fish species tank. And judging by your username, it doesn't sound like you'd have much trouble getting fry for food.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

For the 5 gallon try a school of tetras or cories.

tetras and corys need more than 5 gallons.

Killifish for the 2.5, female bettas/frogs/shrimp in the 5, and blue eye rainbowfish in the 10

Killis for the 2.5, dwarf puffers for the five, fancy plecage for the ten.

Killifish definetly for the 2.5 for the 5gallon get a blue crayfish those are awsome d00d how much are they were you live?? THere 20$ over here im getting one as soon as i get my 6gallon freed up. For the ten How bout a school of tiger barbs???

killifish are very beautiful fish.But I have never seen them around here.I Live on long island.As for the price of the blue crayfish it is $20 here.

2.5: killies or ADF's and shrimp

5: bumblebee gobies or dwarf puffers

10: SHELLIES!
or a schoal of small cories and shrimp
or julies
or a few hillstream loaches
or a pair of dwarf gouramis


btw, tiger barbs need more than 10 gallons

don't tiger barbs need to be in a group of 6 or more??? How can I put Tiger barbs in a 10 gal? But Tiger barbs are really cool fish.

Yes they do sorry i was thinking of another barb. I like the hillstream loaches idea those are pretty tite fish never sean em round here. P.s. i just saw my fish kilifish in purson a few day ago at a petshop might get one soon.

You could certainly do a cray of some sort in the !0, you guys get great dwarf crays over there (where's that site someone??)

Or you could take another option for the 10 and get a large shrimp type for the 2.5 maybe?

Tiger barbs, however almighty they may be, wouldn't work well in a ten gallon. They're too active and just wouldn't be able to be housed properly in a 10
