Adding fish, any suggestions for a 5 gal tank?

Seriously, Gouramis aren't Cichlids and Clown Loaches grow to a foot long....

I think you're already well stocked right now. I'd add 1 more Neon Tetra, because 5 is a nice round number (plus they can school with one more fish :P). I wouldn't get the Otocinclus unless you have really bad algae problems. and even if you do have algae problems, algae-eating invertebrates such as Cherry Shrimp and Malaysian Trumpet Snails will eat algae without harming the plants.

And never, ever listen to the 1" of fish per 1 gallon rule. Sure, you can fit 5 Neon Tetras in a 5 gallon tank, but you certainly can't put a 5 inch Discus in a 5 gallon tank.

No fish, different than the Betta can stay in a 5 gallon tank. Neon Tetra- No, too energetic, won't shop as small continuously, education fish that choose enormous colleges. 15-20 gallons no much less. Goldfish- 20-seventy 5 gallons reckoning on variety, and what share of you have. quite messy, and choose over filtered tanks. Male Guppies- could desire to be in a ratio of three ladies to each individual male to avert aggression, will could desire to be stored in first fee sized communities, (they are going to reproduce like loopy). 10 gallons. Zebra Danios- gets to be 2in, additionally are energetic, and have have been given to stored in companies of 6+ to ward off aggression. 10 gallons. What which you may have: an attractive planted snail tank- not too energetic, besides the incontrovertible fact which you will get some beautiful colourful snails A effectively planted shrimp tank- delivers greater action than the snail tank, additionally they arrive in some colorings, easy to maintain, and shrimp are unquestionably exceptionally wonderful :) A male betta or female betta (which you do not choose).

You are already over your max for a 5 gallon tank. You have to leave room for your fish to grow. The general rule is 1inch of fish per gallon of water. The tetras will be about an inch and the frog more. If frequent water changes will not help over crowding. Stick with what you have.

Dwarf gourami in that small tank will pretty much rule it, and terrorize everyone else.

2 ottos would be fine, they do eat decaying food or rotting fish. Ottos are algae eaters. As well as 2 more neons wouldn't hurt the tank, they do not create alot of bio waste. And if you keep up with your water changes, they should be fine.

well your pretty much stocked as it is already, you could add in a couple of cories they're bottom feeders and I wouldn't see a problem with it.

Well a dwarf red flame gourami would be a nice edition, four neons is fine. I have three neons in my tank and they do just fine. I would add more but I need to upgrade to a larger tank if I want to add in the proper amount of fish per shoals or get rid of a coupleto make room. Just make sure your consistant with the water changes and that includes cleaning out the gravel on a weekly bases.

good luck

I hate to rain on your parade, but that tank is already overstocked.

Frogs are very dirty, and neons do best in at least a 10 gallon tank(they need lots of swimming room)

I would take out the neons, put in a betta, and add a ghost shrimp. The shrimp will be eaten by the betta eventually, but the shrimp are like 99cents, and will clean up the algae for you.

I would not recommend otos for a tank that size. They never do very well in smaller tanks.

You could probably squeeze in a Florida flag fish. If you're willing to do live food a gardneri killifish would also work in a tank that size. Your bioload would be maxed out but if you keep up with your tank maintenance you'd be okay.

Photobucket is good for posting pictures.

The catfish would be way to big for your tank.

If you do overstock the fish will not be healthy and they will die off faster. You will be cleaning it a lot more than needed. I would stick with what you have in there.

If you must get more fish try some mollies or guppies even though they will populate really fast so be careful.

sorry but thats pushing the limit already getting 2 more neons would be ok but no more than that!

A good rule of thumb to avoid overstocking is to allow 1 gallon per inch of fish (minus caudal and tail)

I would avoid putting a ciclid like a gourami in with your neons.
