What should I stock it with? I can make the decor anything but plants. Can I keep one dwarf cichlid in there? What would you stock it with?

very small fish, to get the most out of the room available, and to make them as happy as possible with tank mates. a small school of harlequin rasboras, neon/cardinal tetras would do great. I'd say around 6 should be alright.

or a bunch of micro rasboras if you can find them. Maybe a betta hahaa.

I would say more than one, maybe 3 or 4 with a snail and some shrimp?

If I had one I think I'd go with a couple of bumblebee gobies

We have a 5.5 all-glass with a betta, happy camper!

Salman, in a 5 gallon it is likely you could keep a small school of 4-5 neon tetras as they stay small and are not big waste producers. That is also a good suggestion.

All-glass also makes a 2.5 gallon aquarium. Tiny little thing!

You could get away with putting a few snails in there. I think it is Rue who has a tank setup like that.

I've got a really happy old betta in a 5g by himself.

I could see 5 rasboras or 5 neons in a 5g.

I was thinking more of one or two 2 or 3' fish. What kinda fish would look great with a very rocky decor and no plants?

One more vote for the bumblebees!

They'd look great in a rocky little tank.
