Help! Male betta chasing neon tetras!

So you couldn't fit plants in, but you could find room for another 'decoration'?
I think I'm done here.

The thing is, I don't have any more plants. I only have two and both are in the tank.

Find another place to put them. A plastic tub? A 5 gallon bucket? Treat and aerate the water and keep it warm. Not ideal but better than having them killed by the betta.

I put up an ad on Facebook asking for a free 5-gallon tank. I will use a divider to keep my betta away from the tetras.

I know a few friends that got free, used tanks. I mean, It is worth trying isn't it? Maybe I just need more experience, I am pretty new to the fish-keeping hobby.

A divider in your existing tank or the new 5 gallon that you're hoping someone will give you for free? Either way, I'm afraid to say, you'd be creating an even smaller living space in an already too-small environment by using a divider

I thought of that, but I only have 1 heater. Still, 2.5 gallons alone is better than 3.5 beat up.

I've used a heating pad before wrapped in a towel

Do you have a space heater?
