      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.

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.

    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.

    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!

      @@ralchee7850 My Amanos don't really hide a lot, they just eat under things. ;) But the Endlers and the Amanos have no trouble together at all. I have 2 ancient Endlers left and I have about 15 each Cherry Shrimp and Amanos at the moment. The worst I have to deal with is the Amanos going around and punching the Cherry shrimp to take food from them. So I spread the food around a LOT. :)

  • @issacleon3883

    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.

    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.
