My Review 

I have had several small aquariums in the 2 to 3 to 5 gal range. I found the standard advice, like harder to maintain, to be true. For me the smaller, the tank the more difficult it was to maintain a stable, healthy environment. The 2 gal had an under gravel filtration system and a few small plants.I think it had 3 or 4 guppies.By doing freq. water changes and keeping water chem.within required parameters,they all remained healthy. And as is common with guppies, if the fry have places to hide , they produced many healthy offspring.
