13 Gallon tank stocking help

[emson079]

Hello everyone! I am pretty new to the hobby and am planning on buying a 13 gallon nano tank and have it as an aquascape with a few fish in it. I am however not sure how many fish a tank of this size can handle.

I was thinking of getting a betta together with some sort of pleco/algee eater and a few small fish, like tetras or something. Would this be too much? And if not, which type of pleco and tetras would be best suites for an aquarium this size? I am open to other stocking suggestions as long as the betta stays!

The tank i was thinking of getting is an Aquael fish and shrimp duo 49 liters!

Hi there a betta would definitely work in your tank, unfortunately as far plecos even the smallest get too large and would need a 20 gallon and as far as tetra go they also need a larger tank as they like to be in groups of 10 or more.

you could have a single betta with a few snails and maybe a kuhli loach
you could also try so guppies if so I would start with a group of 4-5 as they will breed
you could also try some nano fish such as chilli rasboras or green neon tetras
or maybe a cherry shrimp tank

these are just a few options that are good for beginners but there is more

hope this helps
