What To Put In A 5g

[PrettyDiscus]

I have a spare 5g in my bedroom that is sitting there collecting dust. I cant seem to think of any fish that i could put in this tank other than a betta. Does anyone have any suggestions?

snails & shimps.
There are other fish but most people like to keep them in bigger tanks.

apart from bettas, dwarf puffers, bumble bee gobies, shrimps ( shrimp tanks are ace) snails, ADF's, pygmy sunfish.
heres a website about small fish. of course, you will have to do more research about them before buying them, and most are probally had to find, but its worth it. http/www.franksaquarium.com/nanofish.htm

Really only a Betta or a Few Bumble Bee Gobbies. Also few Shrimp and a Snail.

Are bettas compatible with shrimps?

in my 5 gallon I had 3 platys in with a few snails. Now i have 3 neon tetras and a few platy fry which are goin to be moved into my 29 gal.

platies need atleast 10gallon, so do neons. and the shoal needs to be bigger too. atleast 5+ is whats recomended.fry tanks is a good use for 5g, aslong as they are being moved when older.
