actually no 2 bettas wouldnt over stock a 5 gallon at all. You can divide that tank into three parts as well.Yenko said:In my opinion a single betta is a great fish to put in a five gallon tank. Half of a five gallon space isn't enough for a betta in my opinion; two bettas in five gallons of water would be overstocking anyway.
I know when you start the hobby you think "OMG fishies!111" but you realize that less is more when you have a low-maitenance, attractive tank with healthy, active fish.
And neontetra05, you shouldnt be rude! These people are trying to givive you suggestions, even if you dont agree with what they say you should not say anything wrong about it, or not acknowledge(sp?) it at all. Noone will like you if you have an atitude, though some people, including myself, do have one.
But for a 5 gallon,
I have herd that a pair of breevis could go in there. Or even a few multies. Not sure how everyone feals about that though.
You could get female platties, endlers and guppies. People just say to get males because of the fry. They usually get eaten, so it is fine. And in a tank that size all males will fight.
A nice set up for that would, planted with live plants, 4 platties, all diffrent colors, and a few shripm to help clean up the bottem.
