Hello everyone! My friend just gave me a 5-gal tank last week. He's also a fish hobbiest but realized he doesn't need anymore the tank. Just want to ask you what type of fish I may have for the new tank. The tank is already completely set up now. Just need what fish to put in. :fish:

I've been also a fish hobbiest for long now. I have 2 flowerhorns, 5 shubunkins, 3 orandas, and 3 fantails. Now, I think I would like to have small types of fishes for the 5gal tank. maybe like tetras or barb? I want fish that doesnt grow that big like my others and fish that can be added in numbers. any suggestion that you may give will be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!!!

personally for mi i think barb are nice =)

Thanks a lot! If il have a barb? what type is the best and how many shall i put in a 5-gal tank?

this one is the most normal one..


strip barb olso nice =)


rosy barb can add some colour to yr collection~

bascially this is the few i like~

btw for yr tank u can consider keeping molly olso~


they reproduce kinda fast one~

How many bard and how many molly should be placed in a 5-gal? can i put them together? Any other small fish that can be placed that does not reproduce so fast?

erm... for wad fish to go with mollies i am not very sure =x

but for wad i know a 5gal tank sld be able to house quite ALOT~

it depends on how many u wish to have..

does yr tank have any plants in them??

I have one plastic plant and a small pot that can be good for hiding. Iwas thinking of buying tiger, albino, and rosy barbs. How many of each kind should i put in the 5 gal? Is it ok to have the 3 types in a 5 gal or should i stick only on one type?
