Hello! I am thinking about setting up my little 5 gallon tank again and am doing some research in preparation.
I have been considering: 2-4 guppies, or 3-6 neon tetras, or a few cherry red shrimp. Will these types of fish/shrimp be happy and healthy in a 5 gallon, even as adults? Are these numbers appropriate for the tank size? Any other suggestions for other types of fish/shrimp?
I like bettas, but I felt like my last betta was rather lonely so I would prefer a fish that can be kept with a couple of fish friends.
I do not want anything that will breed wildly since I have only the one little tank. If I got only male guppies or only male shrimp, would they be happy and not fight amongst themselves?
Thanks in advance for any advice or input!
