Need a Killer

FIRST FISH

I've started a new tank, and I have everything set up but i don't have a fish. I'm looking for something that eats meat, but money and size is an issue. The tank is a bit more than 5 gallons.
I don't want to spend any more than 20 bucks.

Could you guys give me some suggestions?
thnx.

A nice pair of guppies would fit the bill. From what I remember they eat daphnia and brine shrimp, so if you don't want a vegetarian fish, a guppy would be perfect.

You're not going to find anything that eats "meat" in the terms in which we think about meat, but FW Dwarf Puffers may fit the bill for you...they eat snails.

Sorry to say sack but your not going to get many killers in a 5 gallon .
CHEERS.

lol that was cruel...

anyways go for a oscar if your looking for containment and punishment...

ta-ta...

 

[ChilDawg]

Punishment for which fish?

 

[optix]

ummmmm an oscar in a 5 gallon, I think I should just pretend I never even read that.

 

[ChilDawg]

I think that we all are...I'm going to venture a guess and say that Mantis_22 was kidding.

 

[Mantis_22]

yes guys... a joke... ha.... ha...?


(cmon be a little sarcastic now)

We try, but it doesn't show so well on the 'Net. I'd rather not have people considering the Oscar in a 5g tank thing, so I drew attention to the humour intended by you, Mantis_22, but I figured that you had to have been kidding!
