Does anyone succussful setup a fish tank by using those plastic 5 gallon
all-in-one tank?

I just want to put one or two little clown fish in it.


Is that possible?

Thanks!

you gota be careful here 5g isnt very big for two little clown fish, now if you intend on
moving them once they grow, yep go for it. clowns dont stay little

I had a clown in a gallon once when my reef tank cracked. The clown was in
there for about 6 days and to me he looked stressed. I couldn't get a decent
water flow for him with turning it into a whirlpool. I would say go for at
least a 10.

i'm running a small Via -Aqua 380, which is a complete system with a
false gramma and a few hermits and turbo snails. the only difference i
made to the fiter was to remove the carbon and replace with seachems
purigen. i have no probs at all and it has been running for a couple of
months. The water flow is fine due to the 400l an hour pump included
and i'm toying with adding another small fish possibly a damsel.

I'm having a 5gal Hex All-in-one tank with two little clown fishes, 3
blueleg crabs and one star fish for two months.

everything seem fine and happy. I just add a small powerhead to make more
water current.
