Q&A: We have a 3gallon pico reef, want a pico fresh/brackish as well..?

Question by Bluebear: We have a 3gallon pico reef, want a pico fresh/brackish as well..?
We want to feature a uncommon fish in a planted environment and are open to ideas. We’ve considered butterflyfish, leaf-fish, a puffer, anableps (get too big!) and killies. Keep in mind this is a 3gallon tank.

all of those are too large for a 3 gallon…

if you like uncommon fish, try looking into a sparkling gourami for a 3 gallon, they are alittle rarer, and only grow about 1 inch.

i personally have had a male croaking gourami which is considered rare in the fish trade, in a 3 gallon with tons of live plants.

Again what you listed arent suitable for 3 gallons.

Edit: for brackish set-ups, bumblee bee gobys are suit able for a 3 gallon.
