Hello!
I'm a senior in high school and an attendance office teacher's assistant for 2 periods. Within the next few weeks, the office people I work with mentioned about getting a betta fish for the office. To make a long story short, I educated them about fish and they decided that instead of putting a betta in a glass vase, to get a little 5 gallon instead. I'm curious about stocking options for a 5 gallon, since I mainly only know about larger tank stocking.
Notes:
. We are not having live plants in this tank, unfortunately. What are some recommended artificial decorations/gravel that are safe for fish?
. If we got 1 male betta, what would be appropriate tankmates for a 5 gallon, if any?
. If we got female bettas, could we keep more than one in this size of tank? (Like 2 or 3)?
. Are there any other lower maintenance fish options for a 5 gal?
Thank you for any help!!
