How many Neon Tetras with a Betta in 4 gallon Aquarium?
You should only have 1 fish per gallon of water in a fish tank. I wouldn't put more than 2 or 3 Neon Tetras in a 4 gallon aquarium with 1 Betta.

Only 1. Usually a Betta is all that is kept in a 3 gallon tank
Can a red tailed shark fit in a 1 gallon fish tank?
No, red tailed sharks get too large to survive in a 1 gallon fish tank. Only very smally fish such as endlers or guppies, or a betta, would be ok in a 1 gallon aquarium.
What nice fish an live in a 5 gal tank?
The only fish you can keep in a 5 gallon tank is one betta (Siamese fighting fish) on it's own as that is a very small tank.
Why would your betta fish stop swimming and eating other wise looks fine?
I would assume that there is something wrong with its water or conditions. The basic rules for keeping any fish are as follows. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. (Bettas are 3 gallon fish no matter what the profiteers say) Every tank needs a permanently running filter. :- Every tank need to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. If your Betta is kept in the above conditions it will be OK. Any less water or the lack of a filter and the required water changes and I can guarantee it is only a matter of time before your Betta gets very sick and dies.
Can you put a lizard with a male betta fish?
NO!!! Lizards should only be kept with other lizards of their own species. Some kinds of lizards are fine by themselves. Waste from the lizard is poisonous to fish. Also, Lizards do not need a lot of water, where would the fish go? Lizards don't swim. The lizard would eat the fish. Male betta fish are best housed by themselves, or in a 10 gallon or bigger tank with neon tetras, or other gentle community fish. Also, never house a male betta with another male betta, or a female betta. They will fight until their death. Females can be kept together. Three do fine in a ten gallon tank. NEVER put bettas with fish that have long flowing or colorful fins, the betta will mistake it for another betta and kill it.
Does it effect Betta fish if they fight?
yes but only if yours is very hurt by the other betta fish.
Can you use a 10 gallon aquarium for a Betta fish?
of course, but only keep one male in there at a time unless you have a divider. They say a one-gallon is big enough but my personal opinion is a 5+
Can tropical fish live with betta fish?
Yes they would be fine (if they are plants that are ment to live underwater) for the betta splenden aka Siamese fighter fish (assuming that is the betta you are refering to) as it is a tropical fish
Can you put 1 male betta with two neon tetras in a 1.5 gallon tank?
1.5 Gallon? That is a small tank even for a betta and two neon tetras. A typical rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water, so you should only have 1.5 inch of fish. A betta is 2 inches or more, so the neons would be asking for trouble. Both type of fish are great, so my advice would be to get a bigger tank and put them together. Neons are schooling fish and would like to be in groups of three or more.
What if a betta fish has a red bruise in the middle of its stomach?
If you know it is a bruise and how the fish got bruised just make sure the fish is looked after properly and it should recover OK. If on the other hand you only "think" the fish is bruised because you can see a red blemish around its stomach area. Then follow the rules below because you are doing something wrong. The basic rules for successfull fishkeeping are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water.(A Betta is a 3 inch fish) :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs to have 50% of its water replaced every week. The aforementioned are absolute neccessities if you wish to keep fish alive and healthy for any length of time, as is the knowledge of any special requirements for the species of fish you wish to keep. (A Betta needs to be kept at around 78F)
