@@danielluo8554 i think they mean that the tanks of these dimensions have similar foot prints. my 10 gallon is not that much larger than a five gallon. the only thing i could do with the lost space is maybe have a few random pencils or a few more inches in width for random stuff? even then there is always a spot for random stuff. basically most standard breeder rectangle tanks under 20 gallons have very similar footprints and don't take up an absurd amount of space

Its better to have them separate cause they can begin to fight every time ans then you always have to yplit them up.

[@DanishButterCookie]

Females need atLEAST 15 gallons if kept together and should be kept in numbers of 5-7. They can be just as aggressive as the males and should have enough room to establish territory. The tank should always be widers than it is tall due to bettas being labyrinth fish.

[@chairyes1185]

It is true

[@jazzz6065]

My boyfriend got me some new fish at the store the other day and one was a second male Betta and the lady at the store didnt want to sell him it she said "I see you got a betta you shouldn't put that with those other ones it will kill them" and he was like "uhh we have been keeping one in a community tank for months" and the lady was shocked. So I wouldn't trust what people say about bettas they do have personality and it depends some are more agressive than others. My old betta Henry was too agressive so we had to put my other one named Berry because he's way more chill.

[@savannah9041]

Regular feeder minnows make great pets for small tank. Although about 1/2 will die due to them being mistreated as feeders, it's worth it. They're usually about 20 cents each! From my experience, even stuff smaller than 5 gallons can work. Although I recommend 5-10 gallons. They need filtration and although are marketing as "cold-water fish", I found that they thrive and only breed in warmer waters. I recommend keeping about 8 in a 5 gallon tank. They usually get about 1-2 inches, depending on the gender. They breed often and easily. I also recommend filling the tank with plants and hides, but still leaving space to swim. They are pretty active and cute. If you look in the wild, they often huddle real close to eachother in big groups. They have also done well with my betta. Overall a great fish.

While you can totally keep shrimp in a 5 gallon.. up to a dozen? I'm a little shocked at that-- unless you manage to get all of one sex or they're amanos. I started with 9 red neocaridina in my 10 gallon, (my first shrimp ever, got them in April or May of this year) & a few months later, there's hundreds of shrimplettes.. some of which have already gotten big enough that they're now carrying their own babies, lol. Their numbers increase so fast that I had to start putting them into other tanks.. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have started them in the 15 gallon.

I respectfully disagree about keeping WCM minnows in a 5g. They are very active fish and while yes they are super hardy and could probably be ok in a 5G, they need to have at the minimum a 15G tank to really strut their stuff. I used to breed them for a few years and honestly a 20-30G will get the most out of these fish as they are super active and will explore every inch of an aquarium, more so than Danios, Guppies and Tetras from what I've seen from experience.

[@genesis3790]

[@sveajohnson3129]

I saw a comment on here that says 5 gallons is too small for any fish and it irritated me a little. If you know what you’re doing and don’t overstock the tank, 5 gallons seems pretty spacious knowing that some people still keep fish in bowls without heat or a filter. I would much rather have an under stocked 5 gal with a Betta than an overcrowded 10 gallon.

It's because endler's guppies was the title used for both guppies and endler's live-bearers. Eventually he reached the conclusion that they were two different species and we had endler's guppies and endler's live-bearers officially. But in the unofficial world guppies just went by guppies because it was a unique name. Meanwhile, the average person couldn't tell the difference between guppies and endler's live-bearers so the original (interchangeable) names of endler's live-bearers anf endler's guppies were used. "Guppies" being a different species became common knowledge, but due to linguistic quirks endler's guppies turned into guppies, people found out endler's live-bearers were different, but endler's guppies as a name for endler's live-bearers stuck.

My female betta is such a cutie. Within a couple days she was warmed up to me and gets so excited to see me and it took my other fish a few weeks at least to swim up to me

Been doing research and desided to put some kind of algae eater in with my female betta, she has had tank mates before and has the "if you leave me alone I'll leave you alone" kind of personality. I only have the space for one algae eater. My female betta is the only thing in a 5 gallon tank she's about one inch, but is only about 4-5 months so I don't know if she'll get bigger. I desided to avoid snails and shrimp do to my inexperience as well as fear of them multiplying. I would appreciate any suggestions and will do more thorough research, but ideas are welcome if anyone has time. (And yes I am aware algae eaters need more than just the algae in the tank and I promise research will be done before anything is bought) thanks for any input!

Hi from the uk new fish keeper and new viewer I love your videos! I have just brought a second tank which is 5 gallon and always wanted a betta fish I love the endlers and celestial danios could this work all together if so at what numbers would you go with for the endlers and celestial danios? 😃

[@Frogmandb]

To be honest I think a 5 gallon is too small for multiple different species. Probably best to do either a Betta or a small group of shoaling fish

[@jamesgreen9372]

Another nice review, thanks ! Jim

I haven’t changed the water in my shrimp tank in 4-6 months abs the water is crystal clear. These guys are great to look at too!

sometime in my life i want to keep a nano shrimp bowl but I have to learn how to keep plants live first

[@ChordG]

I'm planning to get my first aquarium. I'm a total beginner. I'm considering 5gallon aquarium kit. Im planning 5 guppies or 5 tetras, 5 minows or 5 rasboras and 3 corydoras. So total of 13 fish. I'd love to add more of these if its good for the fish. Should I?? Does it sound ok? Im open to any changes/suggestions to my list.

[@ellalynmills03]

Hi! I have a 30l (6.5) and I thought I could keep one betta fish and maybe a few guppies in there but every website says I can only keep around 2-3 tetra in there or one betta fish on his own I'd appreciate it if someone could give me some advice because I'd like to keep one than more species of tropical fish in my tank but I'm not sure if that's suitable. Thanks :)

[@FaceBookAddiccted662]

E M I wouldn’t recommend any tetras for a tank that small, as they’re schooling and need 5-6 fish! I would try 1-3 dwarf orange Mexican crayfish, 2-4 endler guppies, or 5 chili rasboras! Also snails :) in my experience I wouldn’t recommend shrimp, every time I had shrimp they would be too scared of my betta and never come out.

[@mirandanorman2729]

That should be fine for a betta, but I would avoid guppies with the betta because they're pretty slow and have big flowy fins perfect for a betta to nip at! Look into pencilfish or tetras, but keep in mind that a non-schooling fish would be better so you can get a smaller number. I'd recommend some amano shrimp for a cool addition to a betta tank, and maybe some snails.

About to get a betta so doing all my research

[@user-qk1hf8cx4c]

Did you get it

[@h4wkッ]

Bettas are awesome. I love watching mine.

[@rosiechristo2335]

"My bettas are pretty spoiled sooo what can I say?" Girl, same. My male wont even eat flakes or dry food.

[@wtpny]

My male betta Denny and frog Castiel get pellets and blood worms

[@wyomingadventures]

Great video Lisa and John! I have shrimp with guppies and endlers. ♥️😊

[@AlexsSeasonalKitchen]

excellent video, thank you!

[@musicmovie1669]

You give the best information

[@haleytromblee1968]

I have 3 guppies and a netrite snail in my 5 gallon. Would you say that’s okay? It’s been about 1.5 to 2 months and it seems like they’re doing okay

[@Logan..........]

Awww that mostly blue fish in the beginning looks just like my betta

[@henryblani7561]

Great list! I wish the camera would focus better though. Newly Subscribed!

[@blick80spxz]

I have an entire shrimp colony xD so I caught the majority of them and put them all in a massive tank with a few guppy’s (only males)

[@NaturesWhim]

i suggest galaxy rasboras =)

[@ronaldkasteel3459]

those are great looking

[@jassimfarookh6561]

but how many in a 5 gallon

[@bettysmith4527]

Thanks for the video! Can you mix shrimp with smaller fish?

[@hannahcarson5688]

I have been doing some research, and I was wondering if I can cohab my peaceful male betta with a small school of chili rasbora in a well planted 8 gallon? Thanks so much for your help, keep up the great work!
