Neon tetra dilemma?
Okay so here's the situation. Im a college student with one 30 gallon tank at home and a 5 gallon hex at school. I was given the 30 gallon a while back along with numerous fish including some neon tetras. Now they have all died except one.
Would it be better to leave the one tetra in the 30 gallon with 2 angle fish in it. Or bring it to school and put him in my 5 gallon hex with a betta and some shrimp. The hex has a lot of love plants in it and plenty of cover. But would the tetra and betta get along?
What should I do? I really have no intrest in getting any additional neon tetras but I feel bad for the fish

Neon tetras can't be with bettas. Bettas are aggressive fish and typically can't share a tank. Regroup the fish with 6 or more neon tetras and keep it in its original home.

Re-Home. Neon Tetras need to be in schools 6+. So if you don't have space for 5 more, rehoming
is the best option. The Neon Tetras will be lunch for the angles if they are big. And there is not room
in the 5G for more fish. So re-homing is the best option for the fish. Re-home to someone who already
has neon tetras. You can post an ad on Craigslist. If you put the tetra with the betta, he may get nippy.
