Tetra Tank Questions

I currently have 2 neon tetras in a 1.5 gallon tank. is this too small? or could I add another or?? also in many other articles I have read they say that tetras typically stay between the middle and bottom of the tank... well my little baby Happy Chef, stays between middle and top typically. is there some thing wrong? thnx, Miley

 

What would be ok?

I am going to buy a 5 gal tank for me 2 neons and add more neons then I have a 1.5 gal. - what fish besides a betta would be ok in a 1.5 gal tank alone? thnx a dozen Miley

 

Re: What would be ok?

You already have this posted on another thread. I am going to combine the two if you do not mind.

There are NO appropriate Tropical Fish INCLUDING Bettas for a 1.5 gallon tank. Even Bettas need 5 gallons. They need heat and filtration as well as they are Tropical Fish as much as any of the others. The fish stores are WRONG when they say that Bettas can live in those little containers and bowls.

Get a snail or ghost shrimp.

Re: What would be ok?

thank you so much - u have be so nice to me and very helpful!! you are very nice! Merry Xmas too!! and so a snail would be ok? would a danio? or is that not ok?

 

No rose is correct, 1.5 gallons is too small for all fish. Mystery snail would be ok along with two ghost shrimp and certain other ones. Danio's get 2+" and need six others to be happy. sorry
