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

Good Luck and have fun with your fish..

Betas should not be kept with other fish or other betas because they will most likely kill the others. Like miracol said, you probably want to keep it to one inch of fish per one gallon..

good luck.!

it's getting crowded, no betta~~

The 1 inch per gallon is based on an non-aerated tank. If your tank has a filter that circulates the water, such as an outside filter, then those fish should do fine. I have kept Betta's with all types of fish and they never bothered any of them. Usually other fish tear the Betta's fins but the one you have should not be a problem.

I'm not an expert on fish but a single male beta needs his own tank unless you are certain he isn't a fighter. Eight fish is too much for a 5 gallon tank with or without the frog.

I don't know if this is too much for a 5 gal but I just wanted to say, I have a male betta in my 10 gallon and, he picks on the other fish much less than my brothers female. She has killed some of his fish, my male has not.

Your tank is not overcrowded but may soon be missing some members because the dwarf frog or the Betta may consume the Neon Tetras. If you notice any fish gone, that is what happened. Sometimes you can see the Betta chase them. Sometimes the Betta won't bother them, then you have to worry about the frog, it will definitely eat them.. If the tank is heated and has a filter, choose fish like Glolite Tetra, Black Neon or Lemon Tetra. They are a little larger so harder for the frog and Betta to eat.

I think, WHY mess things up more? Adding a Beta to the tank will do that. He will dominate the tank and kill everything with color that is fast moving. He may not kill the NEONS, but the red zebras will be annoying ( to the betta). 5 gallons is just not enough!
