Hello everyone,
my mom asked me to put together her old 5 gallon hex tank. I have used gravel from my established tanks and luckily all of the equiptment that came with the tank (filter, little heater... all works). So I have been testing the water and all of my results have been good for the last 3 tests, done over the last 5 days, and tomorrow we are going to begin stocking the tank. I have a few different stocking ideas and I wanted to know what you guys think would work for this itty bitty tank.
Option 1:-2 Ottos, 4 neon tetras.
Option 2:-2 Otts, 1m and 1f fancy guppy.
Option 3:-3 Panda, Peppered or Pygmy cories and ??something else??
Option 4:-1 Male Betta, anything he can live with?
Let me know what you guys would do. She wants some floating plants (I have them in my tank, but I don't know what they're called) and then that's it...the tank is done! Thanks for the awesome advice in advance all.
