Is this too much for a 5 gallon aquarium2007-11-24 23:37:52

I have 5 tiny neon tetras, 2 red zebra danios (less than an inch long) and an african dwarf frog (less than in inch long)? Also, can I put my male beta in the fish tank with them?

Answers:

Those tiny fish will grow. Add a few live plants and you can put your Betta in the tank. Those tiny tetras will require a hiding place until they get larges. If you notice fish gasping at the surface, you will need an air pump and stone, but as long as you are VERY careful not to over feed you should be fine.

general rule, 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. This sounds like you have too much in there. AND your Beta will likely kill the other fish.

Sounds ok except for the male beta

yes you have to much in there . even though your fish are small right now they do grow . you could put the betta in there by it's self . but not with what you have in there now . your tank is over crowed .

You can put bettas in a tank with other fish without having any problems. I have a betta in my tropical tank with other fish. However, it sounds like you have too many fish in your tank already. Get a bigger tank or hold off until you..lose some.

The previous answers are correct, you can have about 1 inch of fish per gallon. However, I have had great luck putting male betas in aquariums with other fish. Just don't add any other betas to the aquarium -- especially another male beta!
