Best fish for a small tank?

whats the best fish for a really small tank? im not sure i will even have one but its a thought. its 1.5 gal.
 
I'm thinking that 1.5 gallons may be too small for any fish. A very smallish, fairly inactive goby (like a citron or clown goby) MIGHT work, but personally I wouldn't try it. A couple of colorful hermit crabs might be interesting.

yea im feeling its a little small for fish so maybe ill do a skunk cleaner shrimp or something colorful.
 
probably something 1 inch or smaller
most cleaner shrimp get to be 2.5-3 inches i think

gotta agree with the sexy shrimp or hermit crabs...or bumblebee shrimp...those are so cute
OR if you could get them, some of those hawaiian red shrimp
 
anything i get will only be in this tank for approx 2 to 3 months when i can move home and add them to my 20 gal.
 
No matter what you put in a 1.5 gallon tank it is going to be a nightmare keeping your paramiters stable in that small of a water volume

true but being 1.5gal its very easy to do water changes :)
