The Bucktooth Tetra (Exodon paradoxus) grows to around 4.5 or 5 inches. A set up 5 gallon (nominal) tank would only hold a maximum of 4 gallons. (No water in the top 1inch and water displaced by gravel substrate at bottom). So using the basic Aquarists rule of "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water". Even pushing the limits, the tank is not big enough to house a Bucktooth tetra. The recommended tank size for them is around 30 Gallons.

Can a serpae tetra live with a betta crowntail in a 8 gallon tank. tetra is being harassed in 36 ga tank with other new tetra fish?
No, don't risk it. Serpae tetras are fin-nippers and they'll constantly stress out your Betta. Especially in a small tank such as an 8 gallon, I would find something else to go with the serpaes. (:

What kind of fish will be easy to breed and will get along with your other fish if you have a 10-gallon aquarium with a betta angelfish molly sepae tetra and a cleaner?
You don't! What you do is get a 55 gallon tank because angelfish won't be happy in a 10 gallon tank, and then you take the betta out of the tank (it will fight with your other fish) and just get more mollies and put lots of hiding places in the tank so the babies will live.

Will my six pregnant give birth in my five gallon tank?
If you have six pregnant guppies then yes, they will give birth in your five gallon tank. That tank is not big enough for all of them to live in and the guppies will keep having babies. You will have to give them away, sell them back to the fish store, or get a much bigger tank if you plan to keep them.
