What kind of fish could I fit in a 1 gallon fish tank. I had a betta but i would like something different.?

Answer 1

a couple of neons your tank is to small for anything else

Answer 2

1 Gallon Fish

Answer 3

Ideally a one gallon tank is only good for a hospital tank. You can keep a betta or a guppy I would avoid any tropical fish because a tank that small would be hard to maintain a warm steady temp. So Neons would be out of the question. Cichlids and most any other fish will simply get too big for that small of a tank. Now you probibly can do small frogs but honestly that size is not good for much. 8(

Answer 4

Quite honestly, the only fish suitable for a one gallon tank is a betta. My personal opinion is that no fish, not even a betta, should be kept in such a small container.

A one gallon tank would be very nice with a few aquatic plants and an apple(mystery) snail!

Absolutely do NOT put a goldfish in a 1 gallon tank.... ever. Fancy goldfish need a bare minimum of 10 gallons of water per fish. The common feeder type goldfish need no less than 50 gallons.

Neons are very small, of course, but they are schooling fish. It's important to keep neons in groups of 6 or more and because they are very quick swimmers. The bare minimum tank size for neons is a 10 gallon long. Anything smaller and the poor fish will be crashing into the tank walls because of the speed with which they school.

African Dwarf Frogs need moderate filtration and heated water. A 1 gallon tank is too difficult to keep at a consistent temperature.

Tropical (warm water) fish such as guppies, danios, cories, neons etc... should really be kept in 10 gallon tanks. This size tank is the easiest small tank to keep at a consistent temperature and you it's about the minimum size needed for the schooling habits of many tropicals.

Notes about guppies: they can be kept in smaller tanks (5 gallon min), but they do better in larger tanks as they are community fish and appreciate groups of 5 or more. Also, while many successfully keep guppies in unheated tanks, they should ideally be kept in tanks with heaters so that the water temp is between 75F - 82F.

Shrimp are not suitable for tanks less than 10 gallons as they need good biological filtration to thrive. Keeping excellent biological filtration is difficult in tanks smaller than 10 gallons (possible, but very difficult).

Betta are somewhat misunderstood fish. They are native to the sun baked rice paddies of Thailand where water temps average about 82F. Betta evolved to breathe from the air via a labyrinth organ as oxygen dissipates in warm water. It's best to mimic any fish's natural habitat for that fish to thrive. The most suitable home for a betta is a minimum tank size of 5 gallons with a filter and heater. The filter helps keep the water clean which in turn will help the betta avoid many common diseases that often result from "dirty" water. The heater will keep the water at the appropriate temperature. Betta need a plant or two for hiding in and/or resting on. Don't float the plants as is commonly done when keeping betta in vases or small bowls. This will obstruct a bettas path to the surface thus restricting its ability to breathe (remember betta breathe surface air)

Hope this helps

Many fish can fit in a one-gallon tank, but none can live in it for very long. It's just too small.

Answer 6

Keep your Betta. It is the only fish that can live. Other fish well get too big for their tank.

Answer 7

uhhh. nothing else. the one gallon tank is made for a betta. that would be even crowded if you put a tetra in there. id get a 5 gallon tank and you could get probally 4 fish.

Answer 8

1 gallon isn't enough to responsibly keep any fish in, even a betta in most circumstances. It's not enough space for most fish, and the few that can handle it will suffer from lack of filtration and stable temperature, since it's hard to put a filter or heater on such a small container.

Answer 9

There are a few different types of fish, but the type that will do the best are probably going to be guppies. Guppies have come along way in the past few years, and many types are now available. Then there is the old stand-by Goldfish:)

Answer 10

A african dwarf frog
Mystery snail
or ghost shrimp
that is all that will fit.

Answer 11

Tetras, little sucker fish(I have one thats abt an inch long!), guppies, Mollys, cichlids, rainbow shark, swordtails, kissing gouramis, etc. Look at the small fish at the pet stores. Theres a bunch. I recommend Petsmart over Petco!
