What fish to Get?!

[TropicalRespect]

I have a 3 gallon tank and I want to get a fish in it. Will the water quality go down to much? What is a good fish that can live in a small tank?
Thanks

What about a clown goby?

Thats pretty small I would suggest the clown goby also they are small colorful and dont need a lot of swimming room.

Make sure you have a lid, it will jump out.

Personally, i think a 3 gal is too small for any fish. I had a clown goby in a 3 gal as well, and i feel quite bad about it now.

You might could do a couple shrimp though??? My cleaner shrimp is very entertaining and the fire shrimp are very pretty. I kept 6 freshwater shrimp in my 2.5 gallon with lots of live plants and wood and they were more than happy.

Dang, the only reason I said that was because you had one in your pico. :shock:

Its ok, at them i felt it wasnt bad, but in hindsight i feel really bad about it.

And +1 on the shrimp, there are so many cool ones that would do really well in there!

I have a 3 gallon tank as well, and I had a clown goby in it for a while. I also don't think it was enough space for him/her in retrospect. Right now, I have no plans to add any fish, but I do have a fire shrimp and lots of corals.

Yes a shrimp would be nice. I used to have a firefish in my 3gallon and it seemed pretty happy.

I say go for some Sexy Shrimp, some frags, and some Hermits, and thats all i would out in a 3 gallon. :D

ya thats a good idea. plus i already have an algae problem, so a fish would only make it worse.
