I hope this is sarcasm. The general guidance is 1 gallon per 1 inch of fish. So, technically, you could put in 3 fish each shorter than 1 inch. A lot of fish grow longer than a inch, so maybe 3 neon tetras could fit, but neon tetras should be in groups of 6 or more, so it is not idea for them either.
Snails or shrimp might be a better use of this tank. Or it can be used as a hospital tank when you need to treat a fish with chemicals.
I had this for about a week before returning it. The curvature makes it near impossible to see anything inside once filled with water. The LEDs are very weak and are borderline to even be enough light for very low light plants. It is not glass, it is thin plastic so it will eventually cloud up. At this price it could be useful as a hospital or quarantine for (very) small fish or for some non-fishkeeping project. I would certainly pass on it for use as a display tank.

Been waiting for the 5.5 to hit $20.00 again so I just grabbed another one. The 5.5 Topfin is actually pretty nice and it's really easy to cut bulk filter media to fit the filter.
One gallon per inch of fish (adult size) as a general guideline. So this shall be fine as a cubicle/desktop tank for an angel fish, or a couple of small and peaceful fishes like fancy guppies, platies, swordtails, or zebra fishes (though the latter could become lonely as zebra fishes prefer larger community).
I know... Here comes a boat load of thumbs downs... But they are fish... We have a healthy 37 gallon tank and still lose fish randomly to bloat... If your kid wants a guarami and this is all you can afford... Put a damn guarami it in.
No TD here, but I disagree.
As another poster said, take the $15 to Craig's or offerup and get a decent sized tank for your pet. Alternatively, for $20 you could even get the 5.5g or a glass 10g and small filter from petco.
Honestly if $15 is breaking the bank, fish may not be the ideal hobby.
I've got two of these. They're nice but, looking back, I wish I would have spent the extra 5 bucks on the 5 gallon kits. The 5 gallon kits are only $20.00 right now so I'm gonna grab me one today to replace one of my Enchant models.
My daughter got a 1 gallon last week to put a snail in but i think this would be better, do you think that a small female betta and snail would be good in this size?

I never heard of the 1 inch per a gallon rule, but the 5 gallon+ advice for a single Betta was something I did know about. This could explain why our beloved goldfish died when two more introduced into a tank of this size - even though I frequently changed the water. I appreciate the info friends, because I want to improve my skills. May be the next time we get a fish, I will get a larger tank.

I never really listened to the one inch per gallon rule and have always overstocked my tanks. Never had a problem but I always do frequent water changes. I've had 8 guppies and 4 Neons in one of my 3.5 Enchantments for about 2 years. They've always seemed happy but I'm not Aquaman so I can't be sure.
Fish cannot speak like dogs and cats. Being alive and thriving is different. People in prison are alive and you are alive too but there is a difference. Get some awareness before getting pets or you consider them decoration.
