How many gallons? It looks suitable for a a Betta, not sure about the ADFs

 

[Super Dude]

no you don't have enough room

its a 3 Gallon aquarium.

I would agree, there is not enough space for them to happily live together...

Hi everyone,
A male betta needs a minimum tank size of about 11 x 11 x 11 inches. That's 5-6 gallons of water. Otherwise you'd have to clean the tank over 100% every week!

its to small for a betta or adf but it would make a nice cherry shrimp tank.

At 3 gallons, give or take, the tank is plenty big enough for a betta but is smaller than I would use for one. I prefer to keep my bettas with other fish and the tank would be getting full with that one betta in it. At the most, a single small fish like an endler would work. Who wants a single small fish though?

 

[Honeythorn]

No it's nowhere near big enough. You need 5 gallons or bigger for the betta alone, 10 gals if you want ADF's with it and plenty of tall plants for the fish and frogs to rest in/on.

3 gallons is ok for a well planted and scaped shrimp tank though so it needn't go to waste.

 

[OldMan47]

I disagree with you Honeythorn and I seriously doubt we will ever resolve that by just digging in our heels and shouting back and forth. Although I presently have a betta in a 45 gallon and the other in a 120 gallon, I see no problem with a small and well maintained tank for a single betta. As I said, I prefer to house mine with other fish so a larger tank is needed to satisfy my personal preferences. It seems a 5 or 10 gallon is needed to satisfy your personal preferences but the fish's true needs can be met in rather small quarters.

3 Gallons is adequate for a betta. Although more is better, a betta will comfertably live in 3g
But, i dont think that tank is suitable for the 2 ADF's

 

[squiremaster]

you guys are right no ADFs for me. do you know any fish that can go in there with a Betta right now

 

[kizno1]

none in a 3g
ifits was 5+ then pygmy corys,shrimps or snails

 

[aly_starh]

no fish, but shrimps and snails will be fine

 

[squiremaster]

What kind of snails?
