fish for it that look nice.? i want to get a 2.5 gallon fish tank. it changes RED GREEN BLUE and some other colors. whats the prettiest fish to get that look good in diffferent colors these are my ideas

Ghost shrimp. there see through and would look cool
Neon fish. they already glow.. might look cool in different collors...
well i know that much. i have a 100 gallon tank and a 55 gallon tank already set up. this one is something small for my bed room. so i assume im just gonna get a bunch of ghost shrimp.
oh god no more guppies. i bread them im my 55 gallon tank lol. also bread Brine shrimp in a small 1o gallon tank for there food
HOW ABOUT 2 BLUE CRAYFISH
 
The only fish that I would consider is a single Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), however if you can get a five gallon tank then this would be much better. Remember that you will need a filter and a heater.

Most tetras require a minimum of a 10 gallon tank, as these are fairly active fish. The same applies to other fast-movers including danios and rasboras.
 
2.5 gallons is too small for many fish, i would suggest you to get only 1 to maintain the cleanliness of the tank, and you woudnt want to put 2 or more or they will get over crowded, if you really can't help it, the maximum fish is 3 ok? only small fsh dont put big ones, if your gonna put 1 fish, put a betta they are clean, but dont put others fish or the betta would hurt it. (a.k.a. siamese fighting fish) put a small plant if you would like, plants cleans the aquarium by making the waste ofr the fish as fertilizer, dont put the tank in direct sunlight, a ghost shrimp is good also but only put 2 or 3 as maximum, also with other small fish,

remember not to over feed your tank, make sure to change the water every 2 weeks or a month, dont forget to read aquarium care/fish care in you local library. research also. good luck!
 
I would either get a Betta, or 2 guppies. You could maybe put a Betta and a Cory catfish to help keep the bottom clean, or get a ghost shrimp and a Betta. 2 guppies are also a good choice but if your not going to upgrade your aquarium don't get a girl guppy. They have a litter of babies every month, and they have a lot of them. I hope you have good luck with your aquarium.

Good luck
 
I would get a beta fish they come in various colors of blue and pink. They have flowing fins very pretty fish. The only thing about betas is that you can only have one per tank because they will fight.
 
The cost of getting a 5 or 10 gallon tank is minimal compared, and offers space needed for fish, not to mention stability.

I a 2.5 gallon you can keep a betta, and that is all.

In a 5 gallon you can keep a betta with ghost shrimp, or a group of 5 or 6 small type tetras like neons (they are calm and so will do fine in this tank) with ghost shrimp.

A 10 gallon starts to get into true entry level tanks and is most recommended and starts to open your options a little bit. These tanks become more stable and offer more space for the fish to live and thrive.

Remember - with schooling fish like tetras they do and look best in groups. You want one type, not 1 of many, or they won't be kept properly.
 
I second Pleccy's idea on the Betta fish. I know exactly which tank you have, my neighbor has one with a Betta in it and its doing great in there.
