Small community fish, 6 gallon tank is not much room for fish to move around once you include gravel, plants and other decorations, so you don't want any large fish. Platies, neon, black or glow-lite tetras. Standard rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water.

I'd say a betta, but that's about it except for other small shrimp and snails. If you kept a betta in one, it'd have to be heated (77-83F ideally) and filtered. Also, weekly water changes of 15% would be needed.

OR.........

If you were fairly experienced you could have 5ish endlers livebearers if someone carries them near you. Males are about an inch or so big.

Shrimp and/or snails could also be added....

How do you breed guppy fish in a half gallon tank?

just leave 2 mails and 1 female guppy in the tank with no other fish in the tank at all times.-Shocker There should be 3 females to one male. If there are too many males, the females will get stressed out. I would recommend a larger fish tank than a half gallon. Maybe a 10 gallon tank. Remember, you are going to have some babies. Where will you put them?
