So I'm back They didn't have much at the LFS

They had ONE fancy guppy left for $2, 15 feeder guppies for $0.99, and Neons and Zebra Danios were $0.99 each.

I've heard that dwarf puffers create a lot of Bioload so a good biological filter is needed like a Penguin Mini-Bio or something...sounds like it could get to be as much of a project as my 55 gal. African tank...I don't have enough money to support 2 predatory tanks.

hmm, you could try a diff lfs or order some fish off line. But you might just wana do some plants and neons or w/e. or even do a crab tank

Thanks. Some other suggestions were Microctenopoma angorsii, Badis badis and Sparkling gouramis. A crab or shrimp tank would be cool!!!

i like guarmis if i had a 5.5 i would probably do that, but my dad has a 5.5 and put a halloween crab in it.

If the 5g is 8"x 16"x 6" you could do a pair (m+f) of dwarf flames gouramis, use a filter for a 10-20g tank.
