With such a small tank frequent water changes are mandatory.
In many ways small tanks are harder to maintain and the
chosen species should be thoroughly researched so that
you provide the correct water conditions and decor.

A single male Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens) - 5g
A pair of Lyretail Killie fish (Aphyosemion australe ) - 5g
6-8 Neon Tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) or similar - 10g
A few of the smaller live bearers like Endler's (Poecillia spp) - 10g
Dwarf Shell-Dwelling Cichlids (Neolamprologus spp) - 10g
A half dozen Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmeus) - 10g
