Make sure you get both the same gender enless you have another tank for the babies. You could also put 1 or 2 african dwarf frogs. I think there was a type of small killie that would be great too, don't know its name though. A heavily planted tank with shrimp would be nice...or snails, or both.

Actually, tommorrow I'm going to pick up 2 or 3 guppies for my 3 gallon. And the african dwarf frogs will be perfectly fine, they need about 1 gallon each so if you have a 3 gallon 3 would be fine.

wheezo Fish Addict Posts: 675 Kudos: 293 Votes: 1 Registered: 22-Jul-2003	that killifish u suggested should be fine in a 2g. there are hundreds of nice and equally good looking killifish that wqould also do good in a 2g. weekly water changes should be done. i do mine every 2 wks and they're fine.
