Any oddball for a 5 gallon tank?

Soooo?

Hmm.... hmm can't think of much that'd be considered oddball and fit in a 5 gallon.

I was just looking through and I saw something that said dwarf puffers could be held in a 3 gallon tank. That's cool, maybe I'll get one

Rhinogobius wui, you could keep a male and female pair in there. A added bonus is they dont need a heater.

wats the common name for Rhinogobius wui

Seems to be my fave recommendation at the minute but how about a butterfly fish or maybe a young banjo ca they seem odd to me lol

i though butterfly fish got to about 10cm's? wouldn't the tank be too small?

No, I already have a butterfly fish, and they should be kept in atleast a ten because they get four inches (10cm) long. I'll look for Rhinogobius wui and dwarf puffers

wow!
i would never find a rhinogobius wui here!
i dunno where you guys live but your lucky

rhinogobius wui is called white cheeked goby or "hong kong goby"
i have no idea where to find good info on them though
i looked them up and found absolutely nothing!

Yep Hong Kong Gobie, a nice little fish that can be breed if you can get hold of them.

Rhinogobius wui is sold under many common names which is why i gave the scientific name, in England they are sold as dwarf dragon gobies and elsewhere as hong kong gobies and white cheek gobies.

They are great little fish that are full of character, i have 4 of them in a 10g which breed regularly though as yet none of the eggs have hatched, im still working on that one.

What about peacock gobies, they are stunning little fish that don't get bigger than 1 1/2 " Really clorful little characters always at the front of the tank. Look like marine fish but are freshwater. Mine are in a small well planted tank and are loving it!! Good luck with what you choose!

Now i think about it there were some really cute little gobies in my local store called indonesian rock gobies, however me and the boss could not figure out what they were hope this helps.........
