an old 5g

Im still stocking my 38g tank, but I now have my old 5g to think about. Im not sure what to put in it. I was thinking another betta, or maybe other small fish like neons or guppys. I might redecorate it, maybe ill try a neon theme, any ideas for that?

Go for a betta!!!

Neons are schooling fish who like to be in groups of 6 or more, and that would overstock a 5 gallon.

Get a super bright betta boy!

A betta would be the best for a 5 gallon.

If you want a neon theme, WalMart has a neon-colored cave that my bettas like. You could also get some hamster tubes since they're usually bright colors.

I third what Shayna said on Neons. Guppys need a imimum tank size of 10gal - so that's a no-no. Get another Betta I say!

How about a couple of African Dwarf Frogs?

I wanted to know what everyone else thinks first. I need to wait to restock my 5g cause I have my green puffer in it till he gets bigger, than I'll get a bigger tank for him/her.
