Hey there, im new to owning fish and I’m planning on buying this 5.5 gallon tank (16.5 in L x 8.75 in D x 10.75 in H) to put on my bookshelf. At first I wanted a variety but quickly realized this would not give me healthy, happy fish.
However, I really don’t want to own just 1 fish and possibly some shrimp or snails. I just want 2 fish that would be perfectly fine in a tank like this. Any recommendations??

a good starter for fish are guppies, or my first ‘fish’ i got were african dwarf frogs and they’re super easy to take care of and i found usually have less issues than even other fish
Choose any one of the options from below along with shirmps and/or snails.
1. Betta.
2. 6-8 any nano schooling fish.
3. Barbs
4. Killifish
5. Kulhli Loaches
6. Gouramis
7. Pea puffers
8. Cichlids
Choose wisely still. Although I would prefer you go for a bigger tank for watever option u pick.
But you will hit it off nicely, if you cycle you tank quite well with good tank elements: water parameters, plants, decor, substrate and filters (& heaters).
