ya, i was thinking just a pair of Elassoma evergladei, a very small fish and is considered an oddball. all you need is a clump of java moss and java fern. that's the only idea i have so far. that's why i need some more.

Cool fish, looks closer to a Platy than a Cichlid.

I don't know too many specifics about breeding, but it seems to me that a 2g may be suited for a drop tank for livebearer fish or a place to move the fry to once born...beyond that not sure.

IDK,parts of the south definately seem like a foreign country.

seriously,I would only use it as a drop tank for a few days and nothing more.even cherries are suggested to have ten gallons for spawning.

2 gallons, I'm clueless. Which isn't anything new where fish keeping is concerned. Shrimps maybe?

Maybe two (2) mollies or female or male guppies. But u should look in on getting a bigger tank. Or one male betta or just 2 female bettas! Its hard to say with a 2 gallon tank

Heterandria Formosa would work well in a 2g tank.
