Is this tank alright?

[bettachick126]

Is this tank alright for 3 Glo tetras? Is there enough plants and such? It is a 5 gallon tank, with a slim 10 Filter by marina.And don't give me lectures about buying a bigger tank. There was a 60$ difference between a 5 gallon and a 10 gallon, and I cannot afford them.
Thanks

Well, since you're not getting a bigger tank because of price (which is understandable) that is fine, but then you need to get different fish. GloFish need to be in schools of at least 5-6, and that would be way crowded in a 5 gallon. GloFish need a MINIMUM of 10 gallons, preferably more.

what would be an acceptable fish? for the 5 gallon with no heater? (constant temp no less than 75F)

3 guppies would be fine in a 5 gallon. If you don't like that idea, you could get a betta with an apple snail.

wonderful, is a snail alright with 3 guppies? or is that too much?

 

[bud29]

I do believe a snail is alright with 3 guppies. But then you're fully stocked and shouldn't get any more fish.

Get all male guppies and be sure to cycle the tank
GloFish are zebra danios and need a 20 gal long tank at the minimum
They are just a different color- why a different tank size?
