Hey guys I have
2 platys, 2 ghost shrimp and a sucker/cleaner fish in a walmart "starter" gallon tank that I had established the other day
as a impulse buy
I also threw a real plant in there for some reason
the guy at walmart said that I have a lot of fish for the gallon....
question 1:
Is that true? I know walmart isn't the greatest place to get aquariaum advice
question 2:
Upgrading to a 5 gallon fluval chi from petsmart a good idea?
question 3:
if I upgrade to the fluval chi can I stick a moss ball in it? (they look awesome)
I know pretty much nothing about fish
I would never keep fish in less than a 2.5 gallon aquarium. I would look into a 5 gallon aquarium, aqua culture has a decent starter kit, or you could get a 2.6 gallon fluval spec 3, expensive but it is worth the money in my opinion. Your fish will be much happier with a filter and light and more space and air. 1 gallon tanks are kind of like leaving 10 pple in a elevator for their life so def look into a bigger tank.
