The only fish I'd consider suitable for a 3 gal tank would be a betta.

I second that.

for a 3g

what im guessing is that u could put a

oto
cory
betta
guppy
neon tetra
snail

i think thats all you could put in a 3g


correct me if im wrong

I have to disagree with most of those suggestions, DizBjOhN104. No offense meant. Otos, cories and neon tetras are schooling fish and I'd suggest a minimum of 6 of them in one tank. Six of any of those fish do not fit in a 3g tank. Guppies might do, but unless you only get one sex they'd quickly breed and overstock the tank. I have no experience with snails, so I can't say anything about that.

In my opinion a betta would be the best choice for a small tank, as the others before me have suggested.

Betta

oh yeah i forgot hehee

srry

yeah so u could put a betta i guess

 

[pharoh08]

i would say 2 male guppies and a large snail, like apple or mystery, would make a nice tank, or a betta and a snail

Hi Akhtar

A dwarf gourami could also live in that tank, but if you would like something a little different, why not consider a pair of African Dwarf Frogs? They are cute little things, are easy to care for and they would think that your small tank is a palace.
