zebra danio

[jumccaff]

I have only a 2 gallon fish bowl. All I can accomodate where I am, right now. The local pet store suggested a goldfish or a zebra danio. I am considering the latter because it's smaller, but I thought they should be in schools of at least 3. Anyone?

You have been given bad advice there, the only thing you can keep in a 2 gall is a betta

Never a goldfish or any other type of fish
Danios are community fish and need at least 5 in a group, they also need lots of room to swim about as they are very fast smimmers

Please do some research on any fish you plan to buy

As far as I know goldfish can reach anywhere from 6" to 40"

The need huuuuuge tanks

Is the tank heated and filtered??

Have you thought about getting a Betta? A Betta would be quite happy in a 2 Gallon and are gorgeous to look at and fairly straight forward to care for.

Thank you so much for all your replies. I will look at a beta instead!
