Killifish for 5 gallon?

[SnailPocalypse]

So I just inherited a 5 gallon and I would like to know as I was goanna go on the path of dward puffers but after risks of internal parasites and only eating snails I decided maybe a type of killifish so what kind of killifish could I put in it?(May change as I am still getting the stuff for the tank.)


P.S I found a thing on ebay for 3 dwarf sag plants for 5 $ is it a good deal? I have low lighting but do dose ferts.

I don't know about the kill fish but buying those dwarf sag plants would be sort of smart

The sag looks just like grass from the front lawn

IMO 5 gallons is too small

I know but most places,people,etc. say small versions should be fine.I found sone 1 inch big ones so I thoguth maybe those were goanna work

I found sone 1 inch big

And how big do they get when full grown? When buying fish remember the fish you see in the shop are usually juveniles in most cases.

Yes.Seems I was wrong and I apoligize.Is this any small killi species that would fit a 5 gallon?

No need to apologize, Maybe Galaxy Rasboras aka Celestial pearl danios, or a Betta.

On the topic would a dwarf puffer be ok? it only gets 1 inch at adult hood and I know that for sure

 

[StandbySetting]

A single dwarf puffer would be fine, you may get away with two provided the tank is densely planted/harscaped and has excellent filtration and very frequent water changes.

Mmmmmm I dont know about two I would probably have to watch the first to see his attitude and how he acts before even considering a second.

If you get two you have to get them both from the same place and add them at the same time. You can't add one after you add the other.
