illustrae Fish Addict Posts: 820 Kudos: 876 Registered: 04-May-2005 | A 2.5 gallon tank is a little small for even the dwarf gouramis... Shrimp you can keep just fine in that small a tank (I have a 7 gal. shrimp-only planted tank, that is actually more interesting than it may sound), and a pair of ADFs would be fine in that tank. Is the tank planted? does it have a heater? What kind of filter does it have? Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean... |

Posts: 1507 Kudos: 1350 Votes: 730 Registered: 25-Apr-2001 | You keep asking the same question about a 2.5g tank and people have been politely directing you to good information. I know you may not be getting the answers you want to hear, but really the tank is quite small, and it doesnt matter how many times you ask the question most of us here arent going to change what we believe to be suitable for a 2.5g tank. Please read through the article below. It has been linked to by others before.

That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. |
