Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello! Yesterday I purchased a used 5g tank. Its acrylic and I believe it was originally purchased at walmart. I'm in the process of disinfecting it and am wondering what type of fish I should buy.
I was thinking about getting a betta. What other species of fish do well in a 5g aquarium? Also, how many fish can thrive in a 5g?
I was also wondering if I should add live plants to the tank. I know that they are very helpful with the cycling of the tank, but since the tank is so small I'm wondering if I should just go with plastic plants.
I don't want to overcrowd the tank, so any advice is much appriciated!
Thanks!
