Nano fish?

[FishieKeeper429]

Can anyone give me a list of nano fish suited for a 2.5g?


20g long Baby Shark tank
10g Betta

There is nothing much you can fit in 2.5g honestly.

2 guppies max probably... Male endlers.
Ember tetras are really small, but they need to school, I'm not sure you can fit 5-6 of them in such tiny space.

Could I get a crawfish?

I'd stick with a betta or some shrimp

3 tanks and counting! (6 if you count the bettas)

You could get away with 1 Mexican dwarf crayfish

That's what I was thinking

That's bare minimum for a Betta tank. There is very micro species. That's not my area though. Most people only keep shrimp in a 2.5.

The only micro species I can think of that could work, is one of the Danionella species, but I have not yet had the pleasure of keeping them so I couldn't really say how easy they are to keep

Ive decided on the crayfish. I might be able to acquire a 5g so I might just put the cray in that and leave the 2.5g empty because its so small and really nothing should be in something that small...

 

[ImACoolguy]

You could always try African Dwarf Frogs. They can be shy but very funny if kept in groups

You could do a guppy trio in a 2.5 with stable water, breeders do it all the time

It's unlikely that the guy asking "what can I keep in a 2.5 gallon?" has the knowledge and skill sets of somebody that's breeding fish... Even if they're just guppies. =D

I'd go heavy planted with a pair of gulf coast pygmy sunfish.

I don't know why I forget these guys, they really appreciate the small space. Sourcing them could be an issue, I haven't seen any available in some time.

I breed bettas... And I'm a girl... And I already decided to get a crayfish and use a 5g and leave the 2.5g empty. Thanks.

Not to derail the thread here, but where might one procure these?

It may be easier to make the trip to collect them yourself. I haven't seen any available for a couple years.

I bought my least killifish from this guy, very nice to work with Fresh Water Vertebrates at Sachs Systems Aquaculture
