So I have a 2G hex tank that I would like to keep at the office. It would be unheated, have minimal light and an undergravel filter. I know people would generally say to put a betta in there but I would really rather not. Another suggestion was a trio of male Endler's livebearers but I'm not sure if they can handle the lower temperatures. Just curious if anybody here has any other suggestions?

I love Het's! So active! Just make sure that if you go with Livebearers, you have a baby plan. I keep most of my Livebearers at room temp and I like it cool. They're healthy and active. You could have a couple of pretty male Guppies with plants, that would be nice.

Otherwise, you could do a mix of Shrimp. Crystal Reds look awesome with plants. I believe most Shrimp like it on the cool side.
