I have a 2.5 gallon tank. I have 1 male betta in there. Could I add a female or I shouldnt because its a small tank? I keep having this damn brown algae growning in there too. I already took out the fake plant because it was covered in it. the tank has a 15 watt incandecent. its not on a timer but i turn it on when i get up and shut it off when i go to bed

unless your trying to breed don't put a female in there. If the tank was larger you could put 3 or 4 females in there put since its small the male would pick on the female untill death :'(

ok thanks. What about a 10 gallon? could a throw a couple females in there? Can you only get females online? or do some petstores sell the females?

 

[Bettaman shane]

Most petstores cary females. Aquabid they go through cheap sometimes and a few other places have them.Make sure at least 3 go in there with 1 male

you could put a nice trio of fancy guppies in that 5 gallon

I have African Dwarf Frogs (they are soooo cute)in my 5.5, and I was thinking of adding a few neons.

AquaPsycho,

Get an otto or two for the Algae.

its ok to add another fish to the tank even though its only 2.5 gallons?

I am sure the Otto wouldn't mess anything up. They don't get big and dont poop a ton either.

[glow=Yellow,strength,width]Back to the 5 gallon question. Some dwarf gouramies are good. My G-ma has some in hers and they are just great. Also some neons would be good. But not together!

In the 2.5 and otto cat would be great for the brown algea. They don't get to big.
