Stocking trouble

[IssyDizzy]

I was looking online and have seen a ten litre tank
I know it's tiny but I was wondering if you could have any fish in it?
Also lately I have been interested in beta keeping:
I would like a group of three+ ideally
How many litres is the minimum

10 liters is about 2.5 gals. Some will say it's ok to keep a single betta in there; IMO it's too small but probably do-able as long as you can heat it and filter it properly. Or you could try some smaller shrimp. That's about it really as it's so small.

It's generally not recommended to mix bettas as they can be aggressive toward one another. You can't mix more than one male or males and females. Some have kept betta sororities (groups of females) but you'd need a good size tank (probably 30 gal at least, or 113 litres) and a good number of bettas (at least 6) to even try it.

Perfect size for one betta IMO

20 litres is perfect for a Betta. I have a 5.5g (21 litres) with a male Betta, a Mystery snail & a Nerite snail, its perfect. The Betta & snails are super active so there's constant movement.
