Betta Tankmates

[orange shark]

I've set up my 5 gallon ready for cycling before i get my betta, with it being a 5 gallon i assumed i could have a few tankmates, be it frogs or ottos or whatever.

Any ideas?

Thanks, orange shark

my betta lives with 6 harlequin rasboras, 2 pitbull plecos, 2 variations of the pygmy corydora and 3 panda corydoras
he used to live with zebra danios which he LOVED.....also hda some neon tetra but they are naughty fin nippers, so i'd avoid tetras!

Corys and Dwarf African frogs are good

Hi
5 gallons is a bit small for cory's, as they should be kept in groups. There are pygmy corys, but they do like a mature tank. Oto's also need the growth that a mature tank offers. Not sure about frogs, but some people have kept them with bettas.

The problem with having tank mates in a 5 gallon is that most small fish are shoaling fish. The smallest i can think of are White cloud mountain minnows or Copper harlequin rasboras (not the normal harlequins)

Hope this helps
