ok so i bought this little 3 gallon tank for a great deal with a pump and light brand new for 7$ here is the question is it worth setting up?what king of fish can live in a small tank as such thanks!!
 
I don't know of any fish that would be suitable for a tank that size. The biggest thing is keeping the SG steady along with keeping ammonia and nitrates down. I know people that have put damsels in a tank that size but to me that is trying to live 24 hours a day 7 days a week in my closet. You could do a pom pom crab or sexy shrimp.
 
i was thinking like jawfish they stay under rocks all day..i have 2 in my 85 gallon tank and i never see them so....i dont knowjust a thought. thanks n e ways and that is really a small tank like you said.

Neon goby would work.
 
I had a green clown goby in my 4g pico and that was pushing it. I would get liek a whole bunch of inverts. pompoms, sexy shrimp, golden coral banded shrimp, maybe a small fire shrimp, some neat hermit crabs....there's a bunch of cool inverts to get. And if the lights good enough you can always do low light corals
 
A single neon goby would probably work, though not unlike Carey I think that inverts are better suited for a pico.
