Help with 5 gallon halfmoon betta tank

[cloudz]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I know this place is for "monster fishes" but i need help haha. Can i put a mystery snail, an african dwarf frog, and 3 ghost shrimp in the planted 5g with my betta? If this doesn't work, do you guys have any recommendation for what i can put in with my betta?

Anything that is a peaceful fish can go with your betta really.

yeah you should be fine I wouldn't recomend ADFs because they may eat the ghost shrimp i think and theyre heard to feed at first

oh. Would neon tetras, some shrimps, and a snail work?

 

[dannyboiiii]

yes

 

[cloudz]

oh i heard tht neon tetras might nip at betta's fins. Is this true? How many tetras can i put in the 5g?

 

[livebearerfreak]

5 neons 1 betta and 8 ghost shrimps would look good

Can i have a snail along with the 5 neons 1 betta and 8 ghost shrimps? Would khuli loaches work in a 5g?

 

[livebearerfreak]

no coolie loach, they get to big. one apple snail tho will work

Okay so 5 neons 1 betta 8 ghost shrimps and 1 snail? hmm. That looks like a nice set up. Would it be risky to put guppies in the tank since they are similar to bettas? Would ottos or these: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3955219&lmdn=Fish or gouramis be okay? Sorry for asking soo much questions haha. I just want to know what i can put with my betta first before buying them.
