I've got a 5.5 gal that I'm putting a bunch of dwarf sag plants in. Right now it only has a mystery snail in it. The snail was in my 30 gal, and he doesn't seem to eat plants much.
I wanted to put something else in there. This is going to be on my nightstand in my bedroom, so I probably don't want really zippy fish.
I thought I might put my betta in there and a couple shrimp, but I'm not sure if the shrimp eating the sag would be a problem. They like to eat the anacharis in my main tank.
I thought about putting a few dwarf platies in there, but platies are pretty similar to swords, and the swords in my main tank were constantly picking on my snail (which is why he's in the 5.5 gal now).
I thought of lemon tetras or rasboras, but the tank is too small for a good-sized school of them.
I thought of cories (I really like my panda cories), but pandas are pretty sensitive, and other cories get bigger. Also, I probably shouldn't put more than 3 in a 5.5 gal.
I could always put guppies in there. I guess my only concern with the guppies is that they wouldn't get along with my betta. In that case I can just leave my betta in my main tank, but that would prevent me from temporarily moving the guppies to my main tank if I wanted to use the 5.5 gal as a quarantine tank.
My problem seems to be that most of the cool small fish I'd want to stick in a 5.5 gal. might not be happy in small numbers.
