There are few good “fish families” that you should look to for small tanks. We are going to name the types, for more detail check our our full article on our website, details below

1) Guppies
These are peaceful, small, and cute fish. You can keep 1–3 fish in a small tank. We recommend the cobra guppy, as it so darn cool looking, like a snake!

2)Tetras
These are also peace-loving, tiny fish. You can keep 1 or 2 fish in a small tank.
The neon tetra or the ember tetra are decent choices.

Barbs are so underrated, and there are tons of kinds. The golden dwarf barb is a good choice for small tanks.
