fish for 1 gallon tank

Question
I have a 1 gallon tank, and am wondering if there is any fish I can keep in there . If not normal fish can I keep feeder fish in there?(I'm kinda desperate!)

Answer
Hi Sydney,

Unfortunately none.  I wouldn't put anything in less than a 5 gallon tank and certain types of fish require at least 20-50 gallons depending on the species but even the smaller, non-schooling types need at least 5 gallons.  The only thing you might be able to get away with are a couple of ghost shrimp.

Good luck : ) April M.
