Question
Hi, my name is Robyn, and im doing a school project, and i need to know how many small fish would fit into a 5 gallon tank, medium....., big.....? thx! :) - Robyn

Answer
Robyn,

 With that size tank the best fish would be very tiny fish suck as neons. Anything bigger, then it will be one fish such as a Betta. You can place no more than 5 neons in the five gallon tank. That also goes for other tiny fish such as glofish. I hope this helps.
