Guppysnail Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hi @Felicia welcome to the forum. In a 5 gallon tank there are not many fish that will thrive. Having several types is not advisable in a 5 gallon tank. Some ideas would be a trio of Heterandria formosa -least killifish. Like guppies they give birth to live young. OR Banded panchax- rocket/clown killifish OR Boraras merah- phoenix rasbora OR Boraras brigittae-chili rasbora To make it more community feel you could add neocaridina shrimp with any 1 of these and a nerite snail to keep the windows clean after the tank is well established 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hello Felicia, and welcome to the forum. Will this be a planted tank? I have a group of celestial pearl danios in a 5.5 gallon tank, but it's densely planted. It probably wouldn't work in an open tank. Believe it or not, a tank with just shrimp and snails is also entertaining to watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
