The fish in my bros 2gal tank has changed home to my 50g hex. And today out of the blue hes asks : what can we put in my empty tank?
I replied: here is a fishy book a notepad and a pen write a list of what you want.

NOTE: the tanks is set up and ready for fishies.
here is his list (I know some are stupid but he's only little:P) he almost asked for a clown knife lol


Indian glassfish
Japanese Medaka
Dwarf cory
Bronze cory
Penguin fish
Emperor tetra
Golden Pencil fish
lemon tetra
Black neon
copper tetra
common hatchet fish
jumping tetra
White cloud mountain minnow
flying fox
zebra danio
cherry barb
tiger barb.

My suggestions :-
Betta
Guppies
Single dwarf puffer
Ghost shrimp.

He obviously wants something interesting. Any thoughts and/or suggestions guys and gals?
 
If its a 50 gallon, he could pretty much keep all of those fish (not at the same time lol). Most danios, tetras and barbs won't grow too big for a 50g, but you might want to do a little bit more research and see if any will outgrow the tank or outcompete he others for food. GL with the tank, it sounds like you will have a nice community set up.
 
I think you are mistaken mate I mean the 2gal:)
 
Amoeba and algae.:ROFL:

Just the dwarf puffer much more interesting.

He's only little, give him a school of zebra danios for movement and guppies for colour

:iagree:, but corys are schooling fish, he should get 3-4 for a 2 gal. Even better, get him a 10 gal starter kit, they're not too expensive.

I agree. I personally don't think there is anything that should be kept in anything under a 10 gallon. Remember these fish have to live their entire lives in these tanks. Two gallons is like a closet.

Go for a 10g starter at the least.
