houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Hold on folks, don't mean to disrupt this, but it's only a 5 gallon...and there is already 2 ottos and 2 female bettas in there...i'd say the tank was already fully stocked if not pushing it some... I wouldn't add anything else, if anything I might think about restocking and moving some [link=Here's a good thread on small tank stocking]http://fishprofiles.com/files/forums/General%20Freshwater/55574.html" style="COLOR: #FF1493[/link].
