what are the best cleaning fish for a 5 gallon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
some ottos and a few shrimp
 
3 ottos should be ok. Remember there is really no such thing as a cleaning fish. All fish add to the bioload of the tank. Best cleaner is you. And that is not an uncalled for or uneeded remark. It is the truth. Remember 5 gallons is 5 gallons.

Calling someone lazy IS uncalled for, just because someone doesn't know something doesn't make them lazy. If he didn't care to know I am sure he wouldn't have asked.

no it wasnt uncalled for. your comment was well-worded, mature and helpful.:)
 
well the OP never said he didnt want to clean his tank. he was just asking for a fish that helps clean. but if you think cleaning a 5g tank is too much work, then you shouldnt be keeping fish and youre obviously doing it for the wrong reasons
 
Ottos? He has a 5G...a shoal of ottos is way to big for that tank.
 
This is the last warning. If anyone resorts to namecalling and rudeness, then I will not hesitate to give out infractions. Read the TOS please, folks. Thanks.
