Fluval Edges are only around the six gallon mark so your stocking options are limited. In that tank all I'd think you could put in there are bettas, ember tetras, small rasboras like espeis for example, endler's livebearers, and mosquito fish. Inverts are a lot more options so that's up to what you want to do.

So will 4 amano shrimps, 4neons, 3 cardinals, and 6 black neon tetras be ok??

Unfortunately no, all those tetras get too big and active for Fluval Edges . I'd just do one amano shrimp.

One amano shrimp in the whole tank??
Well i have the neons and cardinals.and shrimps in there already and they have been fine for over a month

Amanos get big. I guess if the amanos are working out for you I don't see why not. Neons and cardinals get too active for a five gallon, I'd suggest a ten gallon minimum

I agree with Bruinsbro. Neons and cardinals can fit in a 5 gal but they don't belong in a 5 gal. They are very active swimmers and to limit them to such a small space isn't really fair to them.

Shrimp only tank is the way forward with a few snails.

Betta and snail?

 

[ddipsydavid]

Well they seem happy. Is it fair keeping a hamster or budgie in a cage etc or marine or other fish in a tank?

If they show signs of stress i can always give them to my 180litre tank
