    the goby will need a bigger tank then a 6 gallon. and a mantis shrimp will need a lot bigger tank then a 5 gallon and they have to be housed alone

    they do not stay tiny either. the peacocks are pretty small and still get to be about 6 inches+. the smiths stay small but still have to be housed alone
