Is it a bowl or a small tank? Depending on what it is it will limit you to what you put in it...
A betta would be fine I think. Do you kow how many GAls that is?

That isn't going to be big enough, you would at least need a 10 Gallon tank for a goldie no matter how small, they grow rapidly...not to mention they grow better in a decent sized tank.
Also bowls are not recommend goldies need lots of filtration, They are messy fish..
What are you looking to get? Can you get a 10 GAL tank?

hi fpv girl, if your tank is 6 litres that equals 1 1/2 gallons. It really is way too small for a goldfish but a betta would be Ok. Bettas need warm water so the tank would need to be in a warm room as it's too small for a heater.
Another cold water fish that would do Ok in a 1 1/2 gallon are white cloud minnows. They are really cute, you could manage up to 4 minnows in your tank.

wow...thats a small tank...I would suggest some tropical fish that dont grow too big. Tetras are cool, guppies are nice or a betta would be a good choice too

i wouldnt go for tetras as they are shoaling fish and you would need a group of about 6.
i would say a betta would be your best bet for this bowl, as they are also air breathers and so the lack of surface area in a bowl would not be a problem.

I would agree that a betta would be the best choice. There is a great betta section on this forum and if you need advice on betta care, come over and join us there
