I don’t think that would work out too well. They get pretty large for tetras (seven cm/nearly three inches), and are quite active fish. A five gallon tank won’t be large enough for one of them, let alone three. Besides, I’d put more of them in there anyways.

A 5gal. tank is too small for 3 Blind Cave Tetra's & as sirbooks said, they're quite active.
