	2.5 Gal Help
$horty Fingerling Posts: 35 Kudos: 25 Votes: 22 Registered: 30-Jan-2005	I have a 2.5gal tank and would like some ideas on what would be a good fish (or two) to keep in this tank? This tank is for my husband's office (12x12 in a warehouse not a whole lot of noise in the office itself though). Any ideas?

$horty Fingerling Posts: 35 Kudos: 25 Votes: 22 Registered: 30-Jan-2005	Well thanks all for the ideas. I think I will just keep the 2.5gal for any future fries and get him a 5gal or something bigger. Then I can get him a gift certificate for the lfs so he can pick the fish out. (This is a VD gift for him.)

A 5 gallon is even to small for schooling fish such as tetras. Do the 5 gal and a trio of male guppys. Lots of color I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.
