2.5 Gallon Tank = How Many Fish?

I'm buying my niece a 2.5 gallon tank and I was wondering how many fish can go in it. I'm not planning on buying HUGE fish, just a few average sized ones. Thanks in advance. I think this site is great.

 

u can put at least 2-3 neaons in there

 

a few smaller breeds of tetra or one male betta would be pretty happy.

 

not to many with a small tank like that i would go with 1 2 neon's and and oto

basically 2.5 inchs of adult fish

 

You're pretty much limited to a single betta, or a single african dwarf frog, or some ghost shrimp. I would not put any tetras in a 2 1/2 gallon.

You could do a Bumble Bee Goby tank. The tank will have to be brackish and you could put two Bumble bee Gobies in there.

 

that would be cool

 

I would put a betta in there with maybe a ghost shrimp.

 

stick with something simple

 

Get a nice betta, thats all u realy can get, But get a nice one like a half moon or crown tail. Add ghost shrimp to help keep it clean. And 1 oto to eat algae if u want. but thts it, nothing else.
