I'm new to this site and real fish raising (I kept a few bettas here and there). I was wondering if my 5.5 gallon tank could fit:
-one dwarf gourami
-two Mickey Mouse platies
-a few ghost shrimp
-one nerite snail
-maybe one or two anacharis plants
-a little duckweed for my gourami (I heard they like floating plants)
And also, would I have space for maybe one more small fish?
The tank I am planning to buy includes a filter, but it is too strong for these fish (I think) so I am planning to disable it and install a sponge filter instead. Is that okay? I also have a heater that is set to keep the water at 75-78 degrees, which I found is perfect for the fish I am planning to get.
Thank you all for your help
