    Recommendations Wanted

    I have a 6x2x2 fish tank and was after some recommendations as to what I should put in it. It is located inside and is to be a display. I was thinking along the lines of Accies or Gillens and would appreciate any pros and cons of the two, or if there is something else that you think would go well.
