Aquarium Advice FINatic
I recently purchased 5 guppies for my 5 gallon tank. Soon after two of them met their demise. Brought them back to the petstore, they tested the water, said everything was great, and gave me a refund.
It has been a week or more since then and now I have 3 guppies in the tank. Amm=0, Nitrite=0, Nitrate=10. I do a water change/gravel vac once a week.
What else can I put with them? I was looking at a betta, but after reading people's experiences with that combination I feel that it is too risky. Especially because I have no idea of the betta's temperment (because I haven't even met him yet )
I would like to get an oto or snail to help with the algae, but what other fish can I put with guppies in such a small tank? Are there any odd combinations that I wouldn't think of? I am looking for something colorful :fishbandwagon: (was thinking of platies) and a little bit more slow-moving than the guppies. Any bottom dwellers that would be compatible?
