Help livebearer in bowl

[aquariumlover10]

Does anyone know if you can keep a livebearer in a 1-2 gallon aquarium. I need to know by thursday tomorrow.

Well what exactly are you talking about?

Well what exactly are you talking about?

I'm sorry I ment a 1 gallon glass drum aquarium

 

[Wiggles24]

Again, are you talking about a day or two until you can get something else or a permanent home? Live bearers need heat, a filter and they are messy( they poop a lot) so you really need to keep up on water changes. Even if you could provide these conditions in a 1 gallon tank that just isn't much of a home to provide for a fish!

There is absolutely nothing you could put in a 1 gallon aquarium. Maybe 10 shrimp,

For how long, what kind of fish, etc. More details please.

Get a betta

It's cruel to put a betta in a 1gal but many people do
For a betta 3 gal min I would say!

Get a betta

I wouldn't consider this. Bettas can be wonderfull fish and leaving them in a small 1gallon cramped can make you're betta ill. As said, 3 gallons is the minimum.

Yea you are right

for a day or 2 sure, however if its for even more then 2 days then absolutley not, nothing other then a few shrimp or a snail should be kept in a 1 or 2 gallon "death bowl"

Not permanately but if you can provide a stable temperature then they could give birth in one like a hatchery net. Or as a temporary home for a day or two yes but no not a permanant home.
