Hi. I am currently breeding guppies but im getting rid of one of my tanks which is a 5g and giving it to my brother. He loves little saltwater fish like nemo and stuff. Would he be able to do a saltwater tank in a 5 and if so whats the max number of fish
 
No clownfish or anything like that in a 5g. Really I think no fish for a 5g, maybe a blue neon goby but that would be it. An saltwater is a pretty heavy thing to get into like

Ro/di unit for water or else you could get serious algae out breaks

A powerhead for circulation.

Your filter which will need to be rinsed out at least once a week

Salt mixes
Heater
Live sand
Live/dry rock
Your light if you want coral
Any additives
 
Ok thanks

10g is the smallest I'd advise getting into with saltwater
And truth be told, you can keep guppies in the saltwater also
 
Ya were gonna scratch the sw idea. Im jst going to stick with breeding guppies in my 4 fresh water tanks
