I was thinking about gettin a tetra, but I wasnt sure if it would be ok.
You may add a tetra once you upgrade to at least a 10 gal
TheCrazyFishLady said:Tetras won't work in a 5g. And just try one shrimp at first, he may be completely fine with it. Or not. When you figure it out, you can go from there. And to the snail thing, there are definitely some interesting ones out there, but then again he might not like the snail.
Bettas can be brats.
TheCrazyFishLady said:Oh, I didn't even think to ask. What kind of snail and shrimp you wanting to get?
TheCrazyFishLady said:There are TONS of shrimp and snails out there. I don't know what would be available for you or if you would be willing to order over the internet.
This site is good, has pictures of the more common ones to come across:
Petshrimp.com -- All about shrimp
I have been doing a lot of research on shrimp lately, I'm considering them. But, maybe post something specific if you have any questions. Other than ghost shrimp as feeders, I don;t know too terribly much experience-wise.
Snails, you could go with nerites or apples. I don't know too much about other kinds, I've only ever had these two. But, nerites come in all kinds of patterns, which can kind of be fun having different patterns.
