5 gallon tank

[SamXXXkiss]

:help: I already have a 2.5 gallon tank and I'm gonna buy a new one. This time a 5 gallon one. I already have a betta but in my new aquarium I would like to put other fish in... What fish could I put w/ my betta in a 5gallon tank?

Thanks for your answers

[you made me ink]

mabey a couple of neon tetras or some zebra danios would be nice

do you know exactly how many I could put in there?

 

[you made me ink]

Nope the clown loach in the pic gets way too big, save your money for a BIG tank.

what a shame... the only fish i can have in my tank with my betta are neon tatras and zebra danios?

Zebra danios might be a bit too hyperactive for a betta and are better left for a more spacious tank. Pygmy corys are a cool wee fish.

can i put corys???

I love these fish

Cories, otos, Mystery or Ramshorn snails, sometimes platies. No danios or anything hyperactive.

I will warn you, however, that every betta is different and some will make life a living hell-o for any tank mate. If you have a fish like that, safest bet is a snail. Actually, I would start with a snail and see how he reacts first. Then try other tank mates.
