I am think about buying a 1.5L tank for my desktop. What fish could I put in it? It's freshwater, has a filter, and also a oxygen pump.

Hi Mallardman and welcome to TFK. One male or female betta is about all your tank size would house and at that you'd have to do very frequent water changes.

Have you considered a 2.5 gallon mini-bow tank? You can get these cheap on CL and I've been able to cycle all 6 of mine with no problem. That way you can do partial water changes about twice a week with no issues.

1.5L.. less then half a gallon. I dont think anyone would really recommend anything other then perhaps shrimp, or maybe a plant and/or some snails.

To have even one fish you're going to want at least a 2.5-3 gallon tank. Then you can add ONE fish such as a betta.

I agree. I would not subject any fish to that small a space.
