that green puffer in a 3 gallon...shouldnt be in there...he gets too big
add him with cichlids? no he will terrorize them. puffers are a species only fish. (dont know if this has already been talked about XD )
what do you want to do with the saltwater? fish only/live rock? a reef? this will need heavy duty planning. there are all kinds of size and compatibility issues with saltwater that are very hard to fix later.

Vanillas right, I don't have him yet. I went to a petstore we have called natures half acre cause they have all kinds of fish other petstores do not have. I can't find any dwarf puffers ): I know about the saltwater. I've already started planning even though I wont be doing that one for a year or 2

I found a 4g baby biotank, but I don't want to use it as an actual biotank, or actually i was confused about that. anyway i was going to use that one instead of a 3g because the 3 gal i wanted they got rid of it or something cause it hasn't been there in a month.

The shape might limit what you can put in there though. Gallons are for water quality, floor space is for territories.
For instance, you can keep more fish in a 20g long than a 20g high because there is a bigger footprint, thus more space for each fish.

Your 5 gallon is overstocked, unfortunately, and glofish should really be kept in at least 20 gallons--they are SUPER hyper-active fish. And I hope you've got a 100+ gallon planned for that pleco! It's a shame to see them languish in tanks that are too small, and besides growing to almost 2 feet long, they produce a LOT of waste. They actually make any tank they're in dirtier instead of cleaner. Then again, that's true of any fish, but especially so for plecos.
As someone else said, corys are shoalers and need to be kept in groups of at least 6 of their own species to feel comfortable. And they certainly don't eat fish poop! They may suck it up by accident while foraging, but they'll always spit it right back out. Panda corys are my favorites^^.
Livebearers are VERY messy fish (basically, they poop a lot). Platies can be kept in a 10 gallon, but mollies and some swordtails need 20+. They're not small fish! My male wild sailfin molly is about 4 inches long. They're also not the most peaceful fish, and can be quite nippy. Males can sometimes be agressive towards each other, especially mollies. My male sailfin is NASTY to every other fish in the tank. So keep all this in mind when planning a tank for them.
I'd love to start a saltwater FOWLR tank at some point...I just have to find the room for it!
