It really depends on the kind and size of the fish. A single betta (Siamese fighter fish) is probably your best bet, because they aren't that messy, don't need a lot of room, and can breath air. Goldfish, on the other hand, grow very large and are very messy. You could probably fit one or two small feeders for now, but not for very long at all, and you'd have to clean the tank pretty often. Another good choice would be a pair of guppies or platys. Be careful, though, they can also be a bit messy, and they tend to breed like rabbits. Basically, just do some research on the fish before you buy them. A baby angelfish the size of a dime will be alright for a little while, but he'll grow to a good 6 inches before long.

Most fish would need a 10 gallon if not bigger, maybe even 20. I would try the tetras though. Most only grow to about 5 cm. Cardinal Tetra/Scarlet Characin would be your best or the Neon Tetra which only grows to about 4 cm. Those are easy to take care of and the other Tetras are in the medium level. *I got my information from experience of fish and the book Freshwater Aquarium Fish a color guide

No. One gallon containers are not suitable for ANY fish. The minimum is two and a half gallons for some species, with ten gallons being a preferred minimum.

Geez....3 gallons isn't much. I would say probably one fish, a Siamese fighter.

As long as it has a filter (and heater if they are tropical, you could put 2-3 very small fish in a 3 gallon aquarium.

How many gallon fish tank should you get for your 3 fish?

Depends on the kind and size of the fish. You should also take in to consideration how large they will get at adulthood. A good rule of thumb to go by is 1 gallon of water for every 1 inch of fish. So for example: 3 2" fish should be in at least 6 gallons of water. To be safe I would put them in a 10 gallon aquarium.

Depends on whether or not you have aeration (an air pump). If no aeration, then you shouldn't put more than 2-3 fish "inches" (total inches of fish) in the aquarium. If you do have aeration going, then you can double this amount and have up to 6 inches of fish.
