what to stock a 5gallon with?
what to stock a 5gallon with?
If you go with the frog i STRONGLY reccomend an african dwarf frog, although I dont think it would fit in a 4gal with a betta. They grow to 3inches, and dont worry if you get it and sometimes see your betta looking like he is trying to eat it! He will most likely be picking off some of the skin he is shedding. Look carefully!
You can put a Betta in there. But I dont think you are limited to Betta only. I have a 5 gallon, and I have 12 fish in there for alomst a year now....they all are happy. However, they will not allow new fish to share the tank anymore.
I got 1 pleco, 4 neon tetra, 2 lemon tetra, 1 bleeding heart tetra, and 4 zebra danios. I always wanted mollies but they dont seem to last. I once had a Betta in there with these guyz but the lemon tetra and zebra danios picked on him so I took him out (he never attacked any of the fish).
So, yeah try Tetra's in there, since they are small fish. I would have shared pictures of my tank but I cant seem to find the uploading option here.
