What is the easiest beginner fish to go into a 1 gallon tank?

I had an african dwarf frog, but he recently died. I was thinking about getting a green spotted puffer fish. Any ideas?

A green spotted puffer needs at least 20 gallons.
An African dwarf frog needs at least 10 gallons (so there's your problem).
The only thing that can live in a one gallon is cherry or ghost shrimp. It may sound boring, but I have a shrimp only tank and get lost in it for hours. They're really fun and interesting to watch. And they make millions of babies all the time. And you don't need a heater (for ghosts and as long as your house stays above 62 degrees) or a filter. And ghost shrimp become very aggressive in warm temperatures (to each other and fish) so it's actually best to keep them without a heater.


A betta needs at least 5 gallons. DO NOT get a betta!

You could probly keep a common goldfish in there till it grows bigger.

you can get one comet goldfish but i mean, GET A BIGGER TANK! you can't possibly put a gsp with a betta in the same tank that you have. if you had a 20 gallon a few barbs and some ghost cats will be nice but how ever they are not tricky and hard fish to have. as they are Between the hard level and bigginer.

a betta, if you want a puffer, 10 is the minimum.

A one gallon aquarium is not suitable for any fish and a biginer should not start with anything less than 10 gallons.

No, you are obviously not educated on your fish types. No offense, of course. I'm not an expert either. But I do happen to know that a one gallon tank is too small for anything except a betta. Puffer fish need lots of equipment with large saltwater tanks, they are definitely not for beginners.
I would suggest starting out with either one male or female betta. Put a bamboo plant in the tank and some rocks. Get some betta food and maybe a few frozen bloodworms. Then you can read a little about them and get one. Also, NEVER but two bettas together unless they are both girls or you are a well educated breeder who knows what they're doing. Which I can tell you are not.
My advice is read up a bit and then start with a betta. I hope it all works out ok.
